PRINCE GEORGE– After nearly three decades of graduates, the University of Northern British Columbia saw its 16 thousandth student walk across the stage at Friday morning’s convocation. A special milestone for the school paying tribute to the 16 thousand people who signed a petition and donated $5 to get the school off the ground.
It was the first time since 2019 that UNBC hosted an in-person ceremony for their graduating class.
“It’s a milestone graduating class this year, sixteen thousand graduates to match the sixteen thousand that put five dollars to start the petition to get the school off the ground,” said the President of the University of Northern British Columbia, Geoff Payne. “The community came together almost three decades ago, and had hope, had a vision, had an expectation of a university in the north.”
