Graduation
Spring 2016 convocation medal winners
The Ring
Congratulations to our student award winners who were awarded with major medals Spring 2016 Convocation ceremonies.
Humanities grad comes full circle
The Ring
Rowan Meredith misses the rain. The Slavic studies major, who graduates from UVic in November with the highest GPA in her faculty, has trudged the empty rail beds of former concentration camps in Central Europe and visited Russia in the throes of Olympic mania—but now she is in Los Angeles for graduate studies and “misses the rain desperately. It never ever rains here. Having grown up on BC’s west coast, it seems bizarre to me. I’m not dealing well without rain.”
Mapping his own path forward
The Ring
A lifelong love of maps led Michael Branion-Calles to the master’s degree he receives this month in geography. But his path was not straightforward—it started in English. “I began my undergrad degree at UVic in English,” says Branion-Calles, “but once I took an elective geography class I quickly changed my degree path.” He says his appreciation for maps goes back to his childhood and as a kid he always liked maps—an affection that eventually pointed him to the spatial pattern analysis and research (SPAR) lab in the geography department.
Congrats Fall 2015 grads!
The Ring
Thousands of UVic students and their families and friends will gather on campus this month to celebrate the achievement of an academic milestone. During Fall Convocation from Nov. 9-10, ceremonies will be held to confer degrees, diplomas and certificates to 1,330 graduating students.
Congrats Spring 2015 grads
The Ring
Thousands of UVic students and their families and friends will gather on campus this month to celebrate the achievement of an academic milestone. During Spring Convocation from June 8-12, ceremonies will be held to confer 3,649 degrees, diplomas and certificates.
Global perspective and itinerary
The Ring
While many educational experiences are a straight road from enrollment to convocation, some routes are more circuitous. Bader Murad—who graduates this June with a Master of Global Business (MGB) from the Sardul S. Gill Graduate School at the Gustavson School of Business—took a while to find his way. Convocation isn’t the only milestone for Murad: he’s also arrived triumphantly at his first career destination.
Grad pics go social
The Ring
Watch for the new Convocation Photo Booth all during convocation week, located near the west entrance to the McKinnon Building (the temporary site of post-convocation receptions). Members of the UVic Student Ambassadors will be on hand to help grads…
