Congrats Fall 2014 grads!
The Ring

Urban design for dementia
The Ring
You may have heard of care facilities designed specifically for people with dementia; they have features such as circular walkways, colour-coded areas that help people recognize where they are, or simple signs hung at eye level. But what if we started taking the needs of people with dementia into consideration when we designed a new park or a city street? These were questions Maria Przydatek explored as part of her masters thesis on dementia-friendly urban planning.
2014: Welcoming our largest class
The Ring
September brought the largest incoming student class to date at UVic, with 21,255 students enrolled—up 2.4 per cent from last year. Most of the growth is among undergraduates, with notable increases in engineering and business programs. International enrolment also continues to rise. An official count will be conducted in November, along with full-time equivalent (FTE) numbers. Statistically, the year stands poised to record solid, sustainable growth for our campus community.
