PRINCE GEORGE—Yesterday (Apr.8) UNBC announced their decision to host a virtual convocation for their students in wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, but after feedback from students there’s been a change in plans.

In a letter addressed to students this morning, UNBC Interim President Geoff Payne says, “I commit to holding a traditional face-to-face Convocation for the Class of 2020 once we have received the green light to safely hold events.”

“I have heard you and appreciate the constructive and respectful feedback.”—Geoff Payne, Interim President, UNBC

The virtual ceremony will still be held on June 26 as there are students who won’t return to campus after the COVID-19 pandemic.

Payne went on to say that the school will update students as details regarding more information for the virtual and face-to-face ceremonies becomes available.
