The context

Where the work begins

Mitch Frazer's Western story does not end at graduation. His work has moved through legal practice, public service and the responsibilities that come with helping institutions make decisions in public.

The takeaway

What follows

An honorary degree turns that long arc into a campus moment, but the more interesting part is the continuity: what an education keeps doing after the ceremony is over.
