Collaborative Leadership

At UBC, we are committed to wellbeing and put our people, places, and communities first. Learning is cultivated across the institution through collaboration, and we work together to embed wellbeing into all our plans, processes, policies, and in everyday decision-making. We collaborate meaningfully to share expertise and work across differences to collectively enable creative and innovative systemic change. Our community models, advocates for, and is empowered to champion wellbeing. We are interconnected and inclusive, reflecting the diversity of our community. Recognizing that our responsibility to lead extends beyond our campuses, we work closely and collaboratively with communities and governments to support a resilient and flourishing civic society.
