UVic priority areas

Student support & success

Universities need to produce work-ready graduates and future leaders who can tackle complex problems.

We want to ensure all students can meet their goals, launch successful careers and work together to solve the world’s most pressing challenges.

Climate initiatives

Our campus in western Canada, located near the Pacific Ocean, is already a world leader in climate research and action.

By investing more in teaching, research, partnerships and sharing knowledge about clean energy, sustainability and biodiversity, we can make a strong impact now and in the future.

Health

UVic is leading the way in tackling the challenges and barriers in our healthcare system—through education, training, research and new ways of providing care.

At UVic, you can help create real solutions to improve health and healthcare in our communities.

UVic is fully committed to truth, respect and reconciliation.

We are focused on creating an environment that supports Indigenous students, staff and faculty by increasing the number of Indigenous students to 10% of undergraduates and 22% of graduate students by 2029.

Philanthropy is part of our origin story.

For more than 60 years, UVic has committed to:

providing an excellent student experience in a supportive teaching and learning environment
partnering with communities
pursuing research and creative activities that make an impact, both locally and globally

Donors have been with us every step of the way.

In the 1960s, community came together to establish the Gordon Head campus. Community continues to be vital to our work today. And our community has the power to help create a better future.
