Celebrating faculty and staff advancing sustainability at the university
The UBC Internal Communications team runs an annual story series via UBC Today to highlight the faculty and staff at UBC whose hard work, innovation and dedication often happens behind the scenes. In 2023, we chose the theme of sustainability, which is a key institutional priority at the university, to recognize the work being done by our colleagues to support this important work.
Chinese Exclusion Act Anniversary; Satellite Event, Exhibit & Symposium Promotion
UBC worked to curate an exhibition at the Chinese Canadian Museum about the anniversary and sponsor three events: a June 23 satellite viewing at UBC Vancouver of a National Remembrance Event held in the Senate chambers in Ottawa, a June 26, 2023 discussion with the museum curator and a September national symposium to raise awareness of this dark chapter in Canadian history.
Leadership one-on-one series
The Leadership one-on-one series was created in 2015 to help the UBC community learn more about the university’s leadership and the people behind the title.
