The University of Winnipeg community congratulates valedictorian Dominique Chudd, who will address their fellow graduates during the Fall 2025 Convocation on Friday, October 17 at 9:30 a.m. in the Duckworth Centre gymnasium.

Dominique is graduating with a Master of Arts in Cultural Studies: Texts and Cultures. 

Born and raised in Gimli and currently residing in Winnipeg, the 29-year-old chose UWinnipeg for undergraduate studies too, completing a BSc in Biochemistry in 2018 and a BA in English in 2024 before starting grad school.

“Overall, the many small communities and groups that I was lucky to be a part of over the years had the greatest impact on me,” Dominique said.

“Looking back now, I feel a lot of gratitude,” Dominique said. “I have gratitude for all that I have learned, all the relationships I have gained, and all I have accomplished with the support of my family, friends and communities by my side. I am proud of the person I have grown into during my post-secondary journey and feel incredibly lucky for these opportunities and experiences.”
