2020 was like no other—and the UVic community kept doing what we do best. Here are just a few of the many stories that helped shape a year of news.
New book gathers expertise of UVic field school instructors to learn from—and extend—off-campus teaching opportunities
Collaborative, innovative and driven to make a positive impact—these are qualities shared by the three 2017 Co-op Students of the Year: Miaoxin (Cheryl) Cui (business), Brianna
Carrels (biomedical engineering) and Gabrielle (Ga) Grant (law).
Ryan Beaton is not your typical law student. He likes to stir things up and ask the big questions no one else wants to ask, like "Why are we doing it this way?" and "Is this really

UVic Law PhD student Aaron Mills was awarded the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada (SSHRC) Talent award. The award is given to a single student each year
across all the disciplines of the humanities and social sciences in Canada whose research "brings forward ideas that help us understand and improve the world around us." Mills' work is at the
forefront of the movement to restore and revitalize Indigenous systems of law.
