Land Acknowledgement
We respectfully acknowledge that UBC Okanagan and the Faculty of Health and Social Development are situated and operate on traditional, ancestral and unceded territories of the syilx Okanagan Peoples. The syilx peoples have inhabited these lands since time immemorial. We are grateful to have the opportunity to live, learn, and work on Indigenous lands.

We are deeply committed to fostering environments where equity, diversity and inclusion are at the heart of everything we do. We aim to create dynamic learning, teaching, and working spaces where everyone feels valued and empowered to thrive. We can spark innovation and drive positive change by embracing various perspectives and experiences.
Together, let’s build a culture where everyone’s voice is heard, and every individual has the opportunity to succeed. Join us in making our Faculty a place where diversity is celebrated, inclusion is embedded, and equity is a reality.
