I am pleased to announce that Adam Charania has been appointed Interim Vice-President, Human Resources, beginning April 1, 2024.

Adam joined UBC in 2020 as Associate Vice-President, Human Resources (Strategic Advisory Partnerships and Support Services). During his time at the university he has provided leadership for several HR teams: Employee and Labour Relations, Advisory Services, Faculty Relations, Academic Leadership Development Program, Housing, Immigration, and Relocation Services. He is also the current president of the Human Resources Association of Universities in Western Canada. 

I would like to once again thank our outgoing Vice-President, Human Resources, Marcia Buchholz, for all her contributions to UBC. We wish her well in the next phase of her career.

Looking ahead, I am pleased to be working with Adam, as he joins UBC’s Executive. Please join me in welcoming him to this new role.

    UBC planning a balanced operating budget for 2024/25

    UBC is reporting a healthy financial position as part of its 2024/25 budget proposal presented to the Board of Governors’ Finance Committee.The report was presented to the committee in advance of going to the full Board of Governors on March 27, 2024. It acknowledges that UBC, like many other universities, is navigating a challenging financial landscape. Broader economic conditions, geopolitical tensions and issues specific to higher education are creating a measure of instability and uncertainty for the post-secondary sector as a whole.
