We need your ideas

Do you know of a June 2002 graduate with a story to tell?

Spring convocation is June 5–7 and The Ring needs your help to show the world just how special UVic graduates are. This is a chance for the achievements, talents and contributions of undergraduate and graduate students to be acknowledged on campus and in the broader community. But first, we need you to tell us about them.

We’re looking for June 2002 graduates who have an unusual background, have made significant contributions to the university and/or community, or have overcome adversity to earn their degree.

If you know of a grad who fits this description, please contact The Ring at vshore@uvic.ca. All we need is the graduate’s name and contact information, along with a brief description of his or her achievements and/or special story, and we’ll take it from there.
