Do you know a special grad?

Fall Convocation takes place Nov. 12–13 and The Ring is once again looking for interesting stories to show the world how special UVic graduates are.

We’re looking for fall 2002 graduands who have an unusual background, have made significant contributions to the university 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 721-7641/7636 or e-mail vshore@uvic.ca. All we need is the student’s name and contact information, along with a brief description of his or her achievements, and we’ll take it from there.
