Attend the Provost’s All-Faculty Forum on March 17, 2025

A message from Gage Averill, Provost and Vice-President, Academic, UBC Vancouver

I invite you to join me for UBC Vancouver’s All-Faculty Forum on March 17, hosted by the Office of the Provost and Vice-President, Academic. This gathering is an opportunity to engage in an open discussion about our academic mission at UBC and the evolving role of faculty in shaping it for the future.

UBC is committed to cultivating academic excellence and impact—advancing innovative teaching, supporting faculty wellbeing, and stewarding the academic resources that empower our students and research while we deliver on commitments to the Indigenous Strategic Plan and reconciliation, and to equity, diversity and inclusion. 

As we navigate an increasingly complex landscape, we have to ask: How do we continue to lead in teaching and learning innovation when technology and our students’ worlds are changing so fast? How do we sustain a strong and supportive environment for faculty development and wellbeing, especially in the wake of the COVID pandemic? How do we ensure responsible stewardship of our academic resources to serve both current and future generations? And how do we maintain the support of the public and the government for post-secondary education?
