The University of Victoria expedited the bachlors degree for Eva Markvoort (BFA'10) in February. Eva, who suffers with cystic fibrosis, was a student at the Department of Theatre until 2007 until she became too ill to finish. In October 2007, she underwent a double lung transplant but is now in chronic rejection and in hospital. Eva's unwavering spirit became an international inspiration when she and her fight with cystic fibrosis was featured in an award-winning documentary, 65_RedRoses, which also the name of her blog.
