Alumna Fern Perkins says her UVic education in the 1960s and 1970s saved her from a life of poverty and despair. Years later, she unlocked the secrets of her true Indigenous
identity.
When brilliant minds come together, tough problems get solved. Just ask Island Health, which now has a new way to address an issue affecting hundreds of vulnerable Vancouver Island
residents after a team led by international business students at UVic’s Gustavson School of Business cracked the case.
A new guide by UVic researcher Onowa McIvor invites everyone to embark on an Indigenous language learning journey. "The most powerful act of reconciliation that
anybody could do in terms of Indigenous languages is to learn the Indigenous language of the land they are on," says McIvor.
The arrival of renowned UK chemist and materials scientist Ian Manners this fall as the University of Victoria’s Canada 150 Research Chair underlines UVic’s determination to take
its place as a world leader in the growing field.
