Your input is valuable and valued. <br /><br />Although non-indigenous by background, I (too) believe that UBC needs to be more aspirational in setting goals for indigenous engagement, backed up with investments to bring more students/scholars/academics from indigenous backgrounds into the University. That is going to require a larger, sustained and more cohesive set of investments. When Lindsay Gordon, Celeste Haldane and I conceived of and established the Board’s Indigenous Engagement Committee last year (my first act as the elected Board Chair), that’s exactly what we had in mind, as well as the opportunity that unit creates to have important conversations on matters of importance. <br /><br />Best regards, <br /><br />Michael Korenberg, Chair, UBC Board of Governors Michael Korenberghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14946388953636709941noreply@blogger.com
