2022 Celebrating Communications @ UBC

Thank you to everyone who submitted examples of communications as part of our pilot showcase to celebrate the fantastic work done by UBC’s communications community.

Although we had a great response, unfortunately we aren’t currently able to make this an annual initiative. Should things change, we will share details via the UBC Communicators Network.
