Whether you are part of our UBC community, or in the process of joining us—through work, study or partnership—I am pleased to welcome you to one of the most vibrant and inspirational places of learning and research in the world.
UBC is among the best universities around the globe.

I believe that we can collectively build on our accomplishments to move UBC to the next level of excellence.

By working together on new ideas and approaches, we can ensure that UBC continues on its path to eminence—providing a student experience second to none, integrating research and community engagement with teaching and learning.
UBC is a dynamic place to learn, reflect, discover and ideally, transform the world. Together, we can reach even greater heights.
