University of Victoria

Who We Are

The University of Victoria (UVic) is one of Canada’s leading research-intensive universities. We are located in Victoria, on the BC coast.

At UVic we combine three elements: dynamic learning, vital impact and our extraordinary academic environment.

Together, these three elements nurture an environment of discovery, innovation and creativity.

This fortifies our work in sustainability and healthy societies. It shapes our world view with diverse perspectives, including those from Indigenous and international communities. It fuels our commitment to economic well-being, technological advances and social justice.

Why We Are Involved

Inclusive, accessible, and equitable employment at UVic encompasses relationship building, support through the life cycle of employment, data gathering, and on-going evaluation in service of an equitable, accessible workplace for all.

These values are integral to the university as we strive to cultivate the conditions where every employee can feel as though they belong and that they can thrive across campus.

UVic commitments to inclusive, accessible, and equitable employment can be found in our Equity Action Plan, our Accessibility Plan and our Strategic Plan.
