Congratulations Grads of 2025!

Convocation is upon us at UNBC, and the graduating class of the University of Northern British Columbia takes to the stage between May 30th & June 11th to accept their degrees. UNBC does not oversee huge campuses, but we do have two central ceremonies here in Prince George–Lheidli T’enneh, and ultimately, two valedictorians. One at the undergraduate level, and one at the graduate level. 

Sean Robinson, graduating with honors, pursued his Bachelor of Arts degree in History. He'll be receiving the Pounamu Taonga, or Greenstone Treasure, award on May 29th, at the First Nations Centre Graduation Ceremony, and is also set to receive the Lieutenant Governor's Silver Medal for Inclusion, Democracy, and Reconciliation.

Also emerging as a valedictorian on this 32nd UNBC convocation, is graduate student Gouwei Li. He maintained a 4.33 grade point average throughout his PhD journey here at the University, researching river ice hydraulics and advancing its global understanding. This work is particularly relevant to climate resilient infrastructure in northern communities, and we managed to get him into the studio here at CFURadio 88.7FM, where among many of his extracurricular pursuits, he just so happens to volunteer.
