BU Convocation to honour an Alumnus and an Olympian
Record Staff

In addition to sending students off on their way with degrees, awards and acknowledgments of hard work, a convocation ceremony serves another function. At Bishop’s University (BU), the convocation ceremony also supplies an opportunity to recognize exemplary contributions from notable individuals, by conferring Doctorates of Civil Law to honourands.
This year, just such an honour will be bestowed upon two individuals: Timothy K. Griffin, Former Chair, Connor, Clark & Lunn Private Capital, Co-Chair, Leading the Way Capital Campaign (2012-18) and Marie-Phillip Poulin, C.Q. Elite Athlete and Canadian Women’s Hockey Ambassador Walter Cup Champion with Montreal’s La Victoire. In addition, the contributions of community engagement award winners will be highlighted during the ceremony and awards for scholastic excellence will be granted, according to a press release from the university.
Timothy K. Griffin arrived at Bishop’s in 1968 and quickly became an involved student athlete, student reporter, and theatre kid. He graduated with an English major in 1971. After an eclectic 15-year span of various jobs, he finally “placed himself” at Royal Trust and began a 40-year career in finance, primarily in investment management. Tim has been deeply involved in philanthropic endeavours since the early 80s, mostly as a fundraiser. He continues to volunteer for several organizations such as the Art Canada Institute, Sanctuary Toronto, the Canada-Ukraine Foundation, and Tennis Canada. Tim was a director of the Bishop’s Foundation for 24 years, chairing the Investment Committee for all but his first year on the board.
Marie-Phillip Poulin, C.Q., is one of the most accomplished and influential athletes in the history of women’s ice hockey. As captain of the Montreal Victoire in the Professional Women’s Hockey League (PWHL), she led her team to victory in May 2026, capturing the Walter Cup—the league’s championship trophy—and marking a defining moment in the new era of professional women’s hockey. ..

From Phelps Helps this week:
After a year filled with creativity, commitment, and community impact, members of Phelps Helps’ Youth Leadership Committee gathered for an end-of-year retreat at Centre de Villégiature Jouvence. The retreat offered a meaningful opportunity to celebrate their accomplishments, strengthen their connections, and look ahead to future youth advocacy work in the Stanstead area.
The Youth Leadership Committee is made up of local students who apply for the opportunity to take on leadership roles within Phelps Helps. Throughout the year, members help plan youth events, bring forward new ideas, and act as catalysts for positive change in their community. This year’s committee included five dedicated students representing all three local high schools: Alexander Galt, La Ruche, and Stanstead College...
