Announcing the 2023/24 Community-University Engagement Support fund recipients

April 18, 2024

This year, the Community-University Engagement Support (CUES) fund awarded over $700,000 to 30 projects between community partners and UBC students, faculty and staff across BC. These partnerships are aimed at benefiting communities and advancing collaborative research, teaching and learning.

The funded projects range widely, from enhancing food security for new immigrants and improving access to health and social services in remote communities, to partnering with First Nations for the better stewardship of our lands and wildlife.

With awards of up to $25,000 each, CUES funding is paid directly to community partners, exemplifying the power of community-university partnerships in addressing priority issues throughout the province.
