A message from Bill Sundhu, Interim Chair, UBC Board of Governors

I am pleased to announce that the UBC Board of Governors has appointed Judy Rogers to be the university’s 20th Chancellor, following her nomination by the alumni UBC Board of Directors.

Ms. Rogers brings a wealth of experience to the role, with an extensive background in governance, public administration, and community development.

A UBC alum, her extensive career is marked by significant leadership roles and contributions to public administration, community development, and governance. She held the role of City Manager of the City of Vancouver from 1999 to 2008, and served on the board for the Vancouver Organizing Committee for the 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games. She was also a member of the Vancouver Fraser Port Authority’s Board of Directors from 2017 to 2023, and was named chair in 2018.
