For more than 100 years, the University of British Columbia has lifted its gaze to the horizon—steadily focused on the long view, with all its promise and potential. And in that relentless pursuit of possibility, UBC has secured its place on the world stage: a top-ranked research university that today leads the way in climate action and global impact, with a deep commitment to Indigenous reconciliation and a more inclusive and equitable future for all.-
There is no question in my mind the value proposition of UBC is unmatched in this country and that UBC is uniquely positioned to shape the next century in Canada and globally. When I think of the biggest challenges our world faces, it’s clear the way forward can be forged here—through research and scholarship, and through our students going out into the world smarter and wiser than we were. What we are doing here together matters on a grand scale.

Imagine a world in which every person ages with dignity and in good health. I was taught from a very young age to treasure our seniors. They represent the past and the present, and are knowledge-keepers for the future.
