27 May WOSA Induction and Alumni at Graduation 2025
Welcoming Ultimus: WOSA Induction Ceremony 2025 – An unforgettable celebration with alumni, parents, and our newest WOSA members
The WOSA Induction Ceremony was a joyful and meaningful occasion as we welcomed our graduating class, Ultimus, into the global alumni community. Adding to the warmth of the event were many alumni who joined us in celebrating this milestone, along with proud parents who were also able to attend.
As is often the case at Woodstock, the day was graced by gentle rain showers—but the weather did nothing to dampen the spirit of the event or the enthusiasm of our alumni and students!
A special congratulations to our award recipients:
Distinguished Alumna Award (awarded posthumously): Liana Gertsch ’80
Outstanding Young Alum Award: Shruti Ganguly ’00
We were also proud to honour our Alumni Parents of the Class of 2025: Kathleen Hawthorne ’90 and Sylvia Haokip ’98.
Enjoy these photos from a memorable celebration—and welcome to WOSA, Ultimus, Class of 2025!
