URegina incorporates beaded chancellor stole into fall graduation

The University of Regina has incorporated a beaded chancellor stole into its fall graduation. URegina Chancellor Cadmus Delorme was presented with the stole to mark his inauguration. While his role includes representing current students, alumni, and future students, Delorme said that “I’m also sitting there as Cadmus, a First Nation person.” The stole was beaded by Thomas Benjoe, a friend of Delorme, and features florals and the gold buttons representing the stars. “In our culture, we know that stars represent our people,” said Benjoe. “It’s to acknowledge the importance of connectedness and also watching over his time as chancellor and watching over our young people that are entering the education space.”
