More Convocation coverage
Spring Convocation 2007 represents the culmination of years of effort and dedication for more than 3,100 University of Victoria students. And each graduate has a story to tell about his or her UVic experience.
In this issue of The Ring, we tell some of those stories, and there are even more profiles of amazing graduating students on this website (see "grad stories" in the right navigation).
Always a highlight of convocation are the inspiring remarks made by UVic’s honorary degree recipients in their convocation addresses. Now, for the first time, their moving speeches are available as podcasts on the web. Read more »
