With over 70,000 students and 16,000 faculty and staff on our campuses, UBC is highly diverse with many communities. Fostering a culture of social connection supports a meaningful campus life experience for all of our communities.

Creating the best possible environment for everyone to live, learn, work, learn and play leads to a stronger sense of belonging and connection and a happier, healthier, more connected campus community for all.
