Looking back over your time at university can seem like it passed in the blink of an eye.
By the time graduates take their seat in Alumni Hall for convocation, everything seems to be in fast motion.
Convocation represents a flurry of excitement for graduates, family and friends, but watching the ceremony unfold from a seat in the audience doesn’t always provide the full picture.

Western News has turned about three hours of footage from the June 18 morning convocation ceremony, during which an honorary degree was conferred upon former prime minister Paul Martin, into a three minute time-lapse video.
Take a look at how quickly time passes by, as Western represents just one leg of a long journey.
