Newsletters

I am delighted to share with you my second newsletter of 2019. Today is the International Day for the Eradication of Poverty. This year’s theme is “Acting together to empower children, their families and communities to end poverty”. 

I am delighted to welcome new faculty to our campus. We had a few more join us since my last newsletter – so here is a more complete list. This list includes new faculty as of September 30th.  I look forward to meeting all of you soon.

On September 19th, UBC signed a Statement of Cooperation with the University for Development Studies (UDS) in Ghana, formalizing a long-standing relationship and outlining our commitment to continue to explore areas in which our two universities can partner.

I am pleased to share the first edition of my newsletter, which I hope to publish every two months. This is a platform to share and celebrate the milestones and achievements of our campus community, and to inform you of opportunities, ongoing discussions for which we need your voice, and other related matters.

Three UBC Okanagan faculty were recognized at the 2019 teaching excellence awards ceremony for their passion for—and innovative approaches to— teaching and learning; Jonathan Holzman, Andis Klegeris, and Sally Willis-Stewart.
