Dear colleagues,

As residents of the Okanagan Valley, many of us are either aware of, or have personally experienced devastation caused by past wildfires in our region. As fire season approaches, I am pleased to remind you that the Irving K. Barber Faculty of Science is hosting environmental advocate Edward Struzik to discuss wildfire, its impact on air and water quality, and how communities can live with fires that are burning bigger, more often and increasingly putting people in harm’s way.

Dear Colleagues,

I am writing on behalf of the UBC Okanagan deans to let you know that we are moving forward with a new project designed to brighten up some of our classrooms and highlight the connections between teaching and research here on campus.

The project involves posting artwork in classrooms in the Arts Building. The images posted will be reproductions of the covers of books authored or edited by faculty here at UBCO.
