Kelly Richardson, a new UVic visual arts professor, is bringing the old-growth forests near Port Renfrew sharply into focus with a new project. The Ontario-born artist, who'd lived
in the UK since 2003, cites proximity to the ancient stands as one of the reasons she accepted the position at UVic.

UVic scholars Christine Welsh and Elizabeth Vibert and it officially launches on March 1.
UVic is home to a leading scholar of vampire myth in literature and film. Peter Golz, on the 15th anniversary of his popular course, is available to media for comment on the use
of critical tools and theory on this 'spooky' topic.
The force is definitely with UVic PhD candidate David Christopher (art history & cultural studies). One might even say it is his destiny. And when Star Wars: Episode VII - The
Force Awakens hits theatres next month, you can count on Christopher to be in line for the new movie.
