Character

Our character attributes are the distinct qualities that reflect "UVic-ness" and our one-of-a-kind spirit. In your communications, ask yourself if these traits come through:

World-inspired

We celebrate the natural environment and the diverse cultures—Indigenous and international—that help shape our knowledge of the world.

Sample text: We're at the heart of a vibrant Pacific Rim community, rich with Indigenous and international perspectives.

Vital and creative

Infuse our communications with a sense of energy—we are a place of ideas and imagination.

Discovery-centred

Whether it's about personal discovery or groundbreaking research, the UVic experience is fueled by uncovering new possibilities.

Passionately engaged
