At yesterday’s Fall Convocation ceremonies, Naomi Azrieli, a passionate champion of support for brain research, and hockey great-turned-public servant Ken Dryden were honoured with honorary doctorates. Both Azrieli and Dryden took the opportunity to issue a challenge to graduating students: more than ever, the world needs you to step forward and shape its future.

“The solutions to the profound problems in the world will be found not only in the careers you choose, in what you do to make a living, but in what you do to make a life.” – Dr. Naomi Azrieli
