The UBC Indigenous Strategic Plan was launched one year ago!
The Plan outlines eight goals and 43 actions the university will collectively take to advance its vision of UBC as a leading university globally in the implementation of Indigenous peoples’ human rights.
Many faculties and units have made impressive starts to their implementation of the plan. Read their stories: https://isp.ubc.ca/implementation/impact-stories/
