McMaster will hold its Fall Convocation ceremonies Friday in downtown Hamilton.

Graduands in Business, Engineering, Humanities, Social Sciences and the Arts & Science Program will cross the stage in the morning, while those in Health Sciences and Science will do so in the afternoon.

Mental health advocate Bill Wilkerson and mathematical biologist Simon Levin will be presented with honorary degrees.

Wilkerson is a co-founder of the Global Business and Economic Roundtable on Addiction and Mental Health, a national non-profit organization that advocates for corporate investment in the mental health of the workforce.

Levin is the George M. Moffett Professor of Biology in the Princeton University Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology. He played a foundational role in transforming ecology into a quantitative, dynamically based science and has been at the forefront of a broad effort to build dynamical models encompassing both ecological and social-economic dynamics.
