At last week’s Deputy Vice-Chancellor and Principal’s Town Hall, a number of employees were recognized for exemplary service to the university at the annual Staff Awards of Excellence.
The Office of Research Services is delighted to announce two new members of the campus community.
For many undergraduate students, university is a time of discovery and reflection. For Stefan Bigsby, starting a second degree at UBC’s Okanagan campus meant returning to his alma mater with a new awareness of his Métis heritage that he connected with two years ago.
Philipp Reichert has been appointed to the Canadian Bureau for International Education (CBIE) Immigration Advisory Committee (IAC). Reichert is manager of International Programs and Services and has been with the university since 2012.
Finance Operations and Strategies is excited to welcome two new staff members and a new Client Services Manager.
The UBC Board of Governors has today approved the appointment of Dr. Ananya Mukherjee-Reed as Provost and Vice-Principal Academic at UBC Okanagan for a five-year term beginning November 1, 2018.
Each year UBC Okanagan celebrates the many years of dedicated service from faculty and staff. This year, 12 people reached milestones of working at UBC or Okanagan University College for 25, 30 and 40 years.
Danai Bélanger joined UBC’s Okanagan campus in the role of International Student Advisor and Regulated Canadian Immigration Consultant on April 16. And Saher Ahmed now has a permanent role as an International Student Advisor.
Congratulations to Philipp Reichert, the new manager for International Programs and Services.
