It is hard to believe that another year is nearly behind us and we are back into exam season. To all of the students currently taking exams, best of luck to you all. Thank you to all of the faculty and staff whose hard work has brought the community back to campus for this term. I wish you all rest and joy for the upcoming holiday break.

As we put the 2021 fiscal year behind us, I would like to extend the Board’s continued gratitude to the UBC community for their contributions and sacrifices over the past year.

I would like to open by congratulating our new Minister of Advanced Education and proud UBC alumna, the Honourable Anne Kang, on her appointment. President Ono and I were fortunate to meet with Minister Kang a couple of weeks ago to share UBC’s vision and priorities, as they align with the Minister’s mandate. We also specifically spoke about the University’s response to COVID-19, emphasizing that health and safety has been at the forefront of all decisions, and that UBC students, faculty, staff and administration have all stepped up to challenges presented by the pandemic and are adapting as the situation changes day by day. The Minister specifically asked that we relay her deep thanks to the UBC community for coming together and for your hard work throughout the pandemic.
