for everyone.
In order to keeping that tradition of engagement
strong this year, we’ve expanded the number
of topics which can be booked for virtual
presentations. Despite last year’s interrupted
season, Speakers Bureau volunteers gave 391
presentations to schools, seniors groups, service
clubs, business associations and community
centres—reaching more than 13,000 community
members across southern Vancouver Island.
This year, 189 new topics have been added,
reflecting the extraordinary breadth of
scholarship at UVic, as well as the enthusiasm
of our volunteers to contribute to a better future
for people and the planet.
I encourage you to take advantage of this breadth
of knowledge by booking a volunteer through
