This message was sent to faculty and staff in Vancouver and the Okanagan.

A message from Santa J. Ono, President and Vice-Chancellor
This morning, I contacted students who are due to graduate this spring with details of their virtual ceremony.
In light of the current restrictions related to COVID-19, we are not yet permitted to hold mass in-person gatherings. As we did in 2020, we look forward to celebrating our graduates at a virtual ceremony, on Wednesday, June 2, 2021. We will hold one ceremony for students graduating from UBC Vancouver that morning, and one ceremony for students graduating from UBC Okanagan that afternoon.
I know what an important event this is for our faculty members in particular, to see our students successfully completing their years of study. While I understand this virtual ceremony will not be the same as seeing our students graduate in person, it is an opportunity to come together as a community to celebrate their outstanding achievements. Whether you know someone who is graduating this spring or not, I encourage you to take the time to join me in celebrating the achievements of the Class of 2021.
