Annual review

From the president
Welcome to Highlights, the University of Victoria’s annual review for 2010-11.
Every year I’m proud to share stories of discovery, accomplishment and collaboration with our global community that exemplify the UVic vision—to contribute to the betterment of our society and our world through scholarship, teaching and research.
For each breakthrough chronicled this year, there are countless others across our campus—and more developing each day. These achievements are inextricably bound with the energy of discovery and commitment to excellence that live in the heart of our research-intensive university.
The work done by our students, faculty and staff is helping to shape our future. I hope you’ll take a moment to review our year’s highlights—in clean energy, oceans research, indigenous education and many other fields that have helped make UVic a world-leading institution.
