As we shuffle into the sweaty months of summer, we’d like to tip our cones to UVic Faculty of Science grad Dan Edler, BSc ’06, for ditching his government job 10 years ago to take his licks in the ice cream business at 49 Below Ice Cream.

It’s been all chiller and no filler ever since. 🍦🍨

UVic social sciences grad, Vikes star, Olympian and activist Pamphinette Buisa fought her way back from the heartbreak of injury to make a new start playing pro rugby in the United Kingdom.

“With rugby I can bring my whole self—all of me can exist in the same place—the aggressive, the loud, the soft; I don’t have to shrink myself.”

Well, that’s a wrap of UVic’s Spring Convocation, with undergraduate and graduate students from the faculties of Health, Social Sciences and Graduate Studies closing out the week. And it was a doozy:

• 5 days

• 12 ceremonies

• 4 types of weather (wind, rain, overcast an sunshine)

• More than 3,200 UVic Alumni tote bags handed out

• 3,223 grads crossed the Farquhar Auditorium stage.

🎉Congrats and welcome to all the new alumni! Be sure to keep in touch, and we hope to see you again soon.
