Barkley Sound Field School - University of Victoria
This archaeology field school was conducted with the support of the UVic Department of Anthropology in cooperation with the Tseshaht First Nation, Huu-ay-aht First Nations, Pacific Rim National Park Reserve, and the Bamfield Marine Sciences Centre. The field school is particularly grateful for the support of Denis St. Claire, Ian Sellers, Wanda Robinson, Stella Peters, and staff from Parks Canada, Tseshaht Beach Keepers, the Bamfield Marine Sciences Centre, and the Hakai Institute geospatial team. In summer 2016, Anthropology professor Iain McKechnie instructed a six-week archaeological field school. Twelve UVic students dug at an old First Nations village and camped nearby. Students worked with First Nations and other experts to learn about human history.

Top scholar spent teen years on street, now calls UVic home
UVic alumnus Ryan Tonkin, now a Vanier Scholar, has always considered UVic his second home—especially when he didn't have one. After earning his BA and squeezing in an MA at UVic in only 16 months before heading to Harvard Law School, he could’ve pursued his doctoral studies anywhere and instead, returns here in September as the first student in the UVic Department of Philosophy’s new PhD program.
