From November 22 to 24, 2023 we are celebrating 1,474 graduands who have earned the right to cross the stage at convocation. In all, 1,222 Master's and 252 PhD students from nearly every faculty and discipline will celebrate their graduation in the Chan Centre for the Performing Arts. The Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies (G+PS) Office wishes them the best in all their future endeavours.
Added to this year's ceremonies will be the installation of Dr. Benoit-Antoine Bacon as UBC's 17th President and Vice-Chancellor. His installation ceremony will be broadcast on November 22, as part of the graduation festivities.
