A message from Lesley Cormack, Deputy Vice-Chancellor and Principal, UBC Okanagan

Dear colleagues,

What a year 2020 has been. I am certain you are all looking forward to the break, even more this year than most. While we are not able to gather to mark the holidays this season, there will be much to celebrate together when we are able. 
 
Since I arrived at UBC Okanagan this summer, I have been struck by the hard work and commitment to the university and its mission each of you has displayed. In the face of adversity, our campus has continued to strive towards our future vision while continuing to support and empower one another, as is so important in times like these.  

Our students, faculty and staff have been incredibly adaptive and resilient through this year’s major shift to new ways of learning, teaching and working. I know it has not been easy, and I have been so impressed with the collective strength of character I have observed during this trying time.
