Intro

UBC is proud to mark its 100th anniversary as a global leader in education, research innovation and community engagement.
The stars of this annual report are UBC researchers whose discoveries have the potential to change our quality of life and innovative teachers who are pushing the boundaries of knowledge. They are learners with solutions to pressing issues and alumni who are making life-changing contributions in their communities. And they are the people who have made UBC a global leader in sustainability and one of the best places to work in Canada.
If we’re capable of achieving all of this in just one year, imagine what’s possible in our next century.
