Impact of giving:
Message from the president
I’ve always been excited at the beginning of every fall term
— but never so much as this September. The excitement
of our campuses returning to life will mean even more this
year.
After so much time apart, students, faculty and staff will
be returning to UBC with renewed optimism and purpose.
We’ll meet each other for coffee face-to-face, see live
performances again on campus or just sit outside on the
grass and people watch. It’s what we’ve been waiting for,
and it’s finally here this fall.
This past year, our community has shown, once again,
that you believe — no matter the challenge we face —
that we are stronger together. And there was no better
demonstration of this than on April 7, when UBC held its
first-ever university-wide Giving Day. More than 2,000
donors came together to give almost $600,000 in 24 hours,
all in support of students and other causes.
Thank you for your far-sighted support as we meet again,
better than ever, in a reclaimed future — made possible by
you.

President & Vice-Chancellor
