The 56th convocation ceremony of the University of Guyana (UG) got underway at the National Cultural Centre (NCC) yesterday morning, where this year’s valedictorian urged his fellow graduates to be “agents of change” for the nation, while stating that their collective achievement is an opportune time as Guyana is on the “cusp of transformational economic development.”
This year’s ceremonies will see close to 3,000 students being conferred certificates, diplomas and degrees in various disciplines across two days.
With a perfect 4.0 grade point average (GPA), Economics major Sean Samuel Pemberton emerged as the valedictorian and winner of the President’s Medal.
