All our thanks to Dr. Gail Murphy for her outstanding service in this role over the past nine years. Gail's last day will be May 31, 2026, to ensure a smooth transition.

Excited to share that Dr. Peter Zandstra has been appointed Vice-President, Research and Innovation, at The University of British Columbia, for a five-year term effective June 1, 2026. Learn more: lnkd.in/g9ytJfh5

@UBC @musqueam 6/6 A service will also be held by the Musqueam that day with more details available here: bit.ly/3PJGeeH

@UBC @musqueam 5/6 Our thoughts are with his family, friends, and all those who had the privilege of learning from and working alongside him. BC, Musqueam and UBC flags will be lowered April 1 on our Vancouver campus in remembrance.

1/6 I was deeply saddened to learn of the passing of qiyəplenəxʷ Howard Grant, a respected #Musqueam leader whose wisdom, leadership and generosity touched many at @UBC and far beyond. @musqueam

@UBC Joint projects include aerospace and advanced materials, but also batteries, robotics and automation, sensors, quantum, biogenics, and more.

@UBC Many thanks to Dr. Markus Fischer, Head of the Aeronautics Division and the whole delegation for visiting, with special thanks to Dr. Heinz Voggenreiter for leading the long-lasting and incredibly productive partnership with #UBC over the years.

Such a pleasure to welcome a delegation from the German Aerospace Center (DLR) - Deutsches Zentrum fur Luft und Raumfahrt - to The University of British Columbia. DLR has been a key partner to @UBC since 2015.

@UBC Senator Wilson then met with key UBC leaders in naval and aerospace technologies, notably Anoush Poursartip, Rajeev Jaiman and Patrick Kirchen. Thank you Senator Duncan Wilson for your visit and long-standing support of #UBC!

The Honourable Duncan Wilson, Senator (BC) in the Progressive Senators Group was on our beautiful Vancouver campus today. We had the chance to discuss education and research, the importance of international students for Canada, and bringing the Skytrain to @UBC.

@UBC Let me thank Director Lea Caragata, everyone in the School of Social Work, the UBC Faculty of Arts, the UBC Facilities team, as well as UBC Properties Trust for your great work on this beautiful project! Congratulations everyone!

@UBC The UBC School of Social Work officially opened in 1929, making it one of the oldest in Canada. Over time, the School has grown and adapted to meet new and emerging challenges. Today, it offers the only PhD in social work in British Columbia.

Wonderful to celebrate the re-opening of the Jack Bell Building, home of UBC Social Work, after a major two-year renovation! @UBC

@InBCInvestment @UBC I look forward to celebrating the success of new UBC ventures supported through the fund! Learn more here: lnkd.in/g2nQCRN4

@InBCInvestment @UBC The fund will enable companies to scale in BC and extend the impact of UBC’s research and innovation to deliver further economic, social and environmental benefits for British Columbia and Canada.

So pleased to join Minister Ravi Kahlon and @InBCInvestment CIO Thomas Park to announce that we are creating the UBC Catalyst Ventures Fund, to accelerate and scale-up innovative companies that are translating @UBC research and ideas into new products, services and treatments.
