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

Dear campus community,

I want to update you on an incident that took place on our campus over the weekend. One of our security personnel was assaulted by a worker in the University Centre building. We were informed that the guard succumbed to her injuries. To protect her privacy and that of her family, we are not identifying her at this time.

This is the kind of communication with our community that I hoped never to have to deliver.

We are devastated that something like this would happen on our campus. My heart and my thoughts, and those of everyone at UBCO, go to the family.
