Expert on Trump travel ban
Asad Kiyani is available to media to discuss the US Supreme Court's June 26 ruling in favour of President Donald Trump's "travel ban" limiting entrance into the US from seven countries.
Gustavson goes carbon neutral
Media release
The Gustavson School of Business has balanced its commitments to social responsibility and international education by investing in five carbon offset projects, countering the environmental impact of its air travel and achieving carbon neutrality – believed to be the first business school in the world to do so.
President appoints working group to mitigate impact of US travel ban
The Ring
President Jamie Cassels has appointed a small working group to assess how the recent US executive order banning entry into the United States from seven Muslim-majority countries is affecting students, faculty and staff at UVic, and how best to meet their immediate needs.
2015 Sustainability Week
The Ring
The deep-green hues of UVic—from research leadership in ocean and climate studies, to sustainability studies in nearly every academic field—also colours our pride in our natural spaces and sustainable on-campus operations. But we can’t pat ourselves on the back too quickly, either. Unless we’re prepared to turn off the lights and heat on campus, cycling and transit will continue to play key roles in reducing our carbon footprint, individually and as a concerned community. We’ve already made good strides: nearly 8,000 members of UVic’s campus community use public transit, pedal power and shoe leather in getting to and from campus every day. And despite significant enrolment growth on campus, there are fewer cars in our parking lots than there were 15 years ago.
Humanities grad comes full circle
The Ring
Rowan Meredith misses the rain. The Slavic studies major, who graduates from UVic in November with the highest GPA in her faculty, has trudged the empty rail beds of former concentration camps in Central Europe and visited Russia in the throes of Olympic mania—but now she is in Los Angeles for graduate studies and “misses the rain desperately. It never ever rains here. Having grown up on BC’s west coast, it seems bizarre to me. I’m not dealing well without rain.”
UVic ECOSat team
The Ring
It looks like a tiny black office tower with an antenna, but when this unassuming shoebox-sized nano-satellite is launched 800 kilometres into space, the University of Victoria engineering students who built and designed it will be experimenting with what might just be the next big thing in space travel: diamagnetic propulsion.
