Convocation 2002

Regalia assistant Meredith McGroarty displays a rainbow assortment of hoods on hand for UVic’s spring convocation, which takes place June 5–7. More than 3,800 students are graduating from the university this month. The colour of each hood — worn over the gown — signifies the graduate’s degree. McGroarty, a fourth-year anthropology student, will wear a red hood when she graduates with a BA this November.
