We are honoured that he will share his extraordinary talents with our fall 2021 graduates,” said college president Sean Kennedy. “The Niagara College community looks forward to welcoming Randell as our guest speaker and honorary diploma recipient for fall convocation. As poet laureate for a two-year term, Adjei is dedicated to writing and championing poetry, art and literacy, celebrating Ontario and its people, and raising the profile of poets in the province, said a news release from the college. The Scarborough native was appointed poet laureate by the province in April - a position established in memory of Canadian singer-songwriter Gord Downie from The Tragically Hip. Randell Adjei will address students on Oct. A celebrated spoken word artist and Ontario’s first poet laureate will send off almost a thousand Niagara College graduates this month during fall convocation ceremonies.
