20 Years of UBC Okanagan: Honouring our past, looking to our future

March 31, 2025

A message from the Office of the Principal and Deputy Vice-Chancellor

Dear colleagues,

On July 1, 2025, UBC Okanagan will mark a remarkable milestone: 20 years of teaching, learning, research and community advancement.

This anniversary is a moment to reflect on how far we’ve come and to look ahead with excitement for what’s ahead. Even as we face headwinds, it’s important to remember why we’re here. Over the past two decades, our students, faculty, staff, alumni and community partners have worked together to establish UBC Okanagan as a shining example of academic excellence, research innovation and collaborative partnerships right here in the Okanagan.
