Government Relations at UBC
The UBC Office of Government Relations works with municipal, regional, provincial and federal levels of government as well as opposition parties and politicians, civil servants and government agencies to:
- To promote and enhance strategic relations with all levels of government
- To communicate UBC’s overall vision and priorities to government
UBC Government Relations facilitates government visits to campus, including meetings with faculty, lab tours as well as funding announcements and major ceremonies like building openings. These visits provide opportunities to present UBC’s innovative projects or engage in round table discussions or forums with both faculty and students.
UBC Government Relations also organizes meetings and events in Vancouver, Victoria and Ottawa for senior UBC administration, faculty and students to interact with the members of government to keep them aware of the university’s initiatives and agendas.
