Upcoming UVic events
Africa @ UVic
Celebrating Connections. Exploring Engagement. Shaping the Future.
Join the Office of Global Engagement in honouring Africa Day with a special gathering that brings together UVic faculty, staff, and students engaged in work related to Africa. This event will celebrate our existing connections, foster new ones, and create space for dialogue about UVic’s current and future engagement with Africa partners, communities, and scholarship.
Together, we’ll:
- Honour Africa Day as a global moment of reflection and connection
- Explore how UVic is currently engaging with Africa across disciplines
- Initiate conversations toward developing a UVic Africa Strategy
- Build relationships and networks among colleagues working in this space
Whether your work touches on Africa partnerships, research, teaching, or community engagement, or you’re just beginning to explore these connections, we welcome your voice in this important conversation.
RSVP by emailing ogemec@uvic.ca.
