In 2024, UBC’s Office of Community Engagement engaged more than 1,600 faculty, staff, students and community partners through funding, programs and events. This report shares what that work looks like in practice, through the eyes of the people who use and shape it. Engagement is deeply relational, so the figures sit alongside partner stories, testimonials, videos and podcast episodes.
