Message from Professor Santa Ono – developing a new UBC vision
One of my top priorities over the coming academic year will be the development of a new vision and strategic plan for UBC.
UBC has been extremely well served by Place and Promise, the plan introduced in 2009 by President Stephen Toope; since then, however, the world has changed in many ways, and our university needs to revisit its goals and priorities to reflect those changes.

Farewell to Dr. Martha C. Piper
Last year, Dr. Martha C. Piper returned to UBC as Interim President and Vice-Chancellor. On June 30, she will formally end her second period of leadership at UBC.
Dr. Piper’s passion and dedication have been extraordinary, and her advice to the Board and the senior administration has been invaluable.
