Dear colleagues, ‘way:
As UBC Okanagan and the country mark Black History Month 2022, I want to encourage everyone to take time this February—and, indeed, every day—to honour the contributions of Black Canadians, both past and present, and Black students, faculty and staff at UBC.
Importantly, I also urge everyone to reflect on the work that remains to combat racism on campus, within the academy and in our communities.
