Impact Week

March 11-15, 2024

A week that celebrates the acts of kindness and generosity that make UVic more accessible and enriching for everyone.

Celebrating your impact

Immerse yourself in stories of generosity: students finding community through a shared meal, a staff member and alumna empowered by Elder engagement, and a look into how UVic donors support the Food Bank and its growing needs.

Thank you

Every day, students attend classes, work in labs and study in libraries to further their education. Meanwhile, researchers are busy exploring new and innovative solutions, and Vikes teams are giving their all in their respective sports. There is so much that happens on campus and behind the scenes to support the UVic community in every way possible.

No matter where donors choose to give and show their support, their impact is deeply felt and greatly appreciated.
