Hi Arman,

We are in the process of preparing video of the addresses given by the honorary degree recipients for broadcast. The video should be available to access online within the next week.

My wife and I attended London South Collegiate Institute during the time Allan Lansing was there. We often talk about him an always wonder where he is now. To-day I found his 2008 Convocation Address at Western. Your comments indicate you were making a video of his talk. Where may I find it on the internet? Thank you.

Very interesting audio! I'm curious to how much a procedure like this would cost and if any costs would be picked up by health insurance? Seems like a very specialized operation.
