Yesterday the UBC Board of Governors approved the reappointment of Ms. Heather McCaw as Vice-President, Development and Alumni Engagement (DAE), for a second term starting November 1, 2023.

Ms. McCaw took on the role of Vice-President, DAE, in 2018. During her first term as Vice-President, she has led her portfolio to record levels of success.

Her achievements include the public launch of the most ambitious fundraising and alumni engagement campaign in the university’s history – FORWARD, the campaign for UBC. The campaign aims to raise $3 billion to benefit students and research across both campuses, as well as double alumni engagement and achieve 5 million alumni interactions.

On behalf of the UBC community, I would like to thank Ms. McCaw for her tireless efforts in supporting UBC’s pursuit of excellence in teaching, learning, research and engagement.

Please join me in congratulating Ms. McCaw on her reappointment.

Deborah Buszard
Interim President and Vice-Chancellor
