UVIC SPEAKERS BUREAUSharing a world of ideas

The connection between the University of Victoria and our regionrsquos community is productive dynamic and benefits us all The UVic Speakers Bureaumdashnow in its 41st seasonmdashis an outstanding example of that relationship bringing the expertise of UVic faculty staff graduate students and retirees to audiences across southern Vancouver Island

Our volunteers are tremendous ambassadors for our university connecting community to the extraordinary academic environment that has made UVic a world-leading university The UVic Speakers Bureau is also the only university-wide bureau of its kind in Canadamdasha sign of our commitment to community engagement and lifelong learning for everyone

Last year in order to continue this community service we shifted gears to make more than 80 per cent of our talks available as virtual or remote presentationsmdashan option wersquoll continue to offer even as we return to the in-person speaking engagements wersquove provided since 1980

Despite last yearrsquos challenges Speakers Bureau volunteers gave 320 presentations to schools seniors groups service clubs business associations and community centresmdashreaching more than 10000 community members across southern Vancouver Island

This year 130 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 UVics Speakers Bureau
