Upcoming UVic events

Black Staff Lunch & Lounge

The Scarborough Charter Steering Committee wants to create spaces to bring together Black communities and celebrate Black joy at UVic. We know there aren’t many informal chances for Black staff to connect. So, here’s an opportunity!

Join us for an informal lunchtime gathering. There will be access to the outdoor patio if the sun’s shining!

Come by to meet new folks, catch up with familiar faces, and share information about upcoming events and more. We’ll have some casual conversation starters and light refreshments - drinks and snacks to share.

It’s BYOL (bring your own lunch), totally free to attend, and no RSVP needed—just drop in.

Feel free to bring a colleague or friend who might be interested. We’d love to see you there!
