As Belize’s leading public higher education institution prepares to mark a key milestone in the academic calendar, the University of Belize (UB) is gearing up to confer credentials on 843 graduating students this month, with commencement events kicking off this weekend in Belize City. Two separate ceremonies will be held in Belize City on Saturday to accommodate the large graduating cohort, with additional celebrations for regional students scheduled the following Sunday in Punta Gorda.
