Meet the summer recipients of UBC’s 2025 Partnership Recognition and Exploration Fund

November 26, 2025

Earlier this year, the Partnership Recognition and Exploration (PRE) Fund was awarded to 16 inspiring university-community initiatives. These projects show how UBC students, faculty, and staff are developing reciprocal partnerships through diverse teaching and research projects.

Receiving up to $1,500 each, the PRE awards supported a range of teaching and research projects, including addressing the housing crisis through innovative land trust partnerships; advancing Indigenous justice and environmental racism research with Pictou Landing First Nation; transforming healthcare education to better support Indigenous, Queer, and POC communities; and supporting other vulnerable populations like single mothers, veterans, and at-risk youth. 

The PRE Fund aims to boost collaboration and relationship building, as well as support community partners to build reciprocal relationships with UBC faculty, staff, and students.
