Posthumous Degree

At its May 3, 2008 graduation ceremony The King's University College will grant Derrick , posthumously, a Bachelor of Commerce degree. This will be King's first posthumous degree and we couldn't think of a better recipient.

While the policy framework which allows conferring the degree was under development at the time of Derrick's death, it was expedited to ensure the degree could be granted at this year's grad. We know this will be meaningful for Derrick's classmates; many of whom continue to grieve his passing. King's is thankful that representatives of Derrick's family will be able to be present to receive the degree on his behalf.

The grad ceremony takes place at Evangel Pentacostal Church at 2:00.
