Thank you
Every day, students attend classes, work in labs and study in libraries to further their education. Meanwhile, researchers are busy exploring new and innovative solutions, and Vikes teams are giving their all in their respective sports. There is so much that happens on campus and behind the scenes to support the UVic community in every way possible.
No matter where donors choose to give and show their support, their impact is deeply felt and greatly appreciated.
