Featured initiatives
Beyond coursework and field placements, the School of Information offers a dynamic and inclusive educational and inquiry-based environment nourished by our colloquium series, research events, visiting scholars and professional development events with alumni and employers. We provide technology-enriched learning spaces and foster a service orientation through support of student clubs and initiatives. Your donation will contribute to the enrichment of graduate students’ education, support ongoing equity, diversity and inclusion initiatives, and further enhance our reputation as a vibrant centre for education and scholarship.
Students at the UBC School of Information are working towards a thriving society where communities can engage with information; enable democracy through evidence, accountability, and transparency; and preserve and shape our collective memory and culture.
By donating to the UBC School of Information General Scholarship and Bursary Fund, you directly impact students' lives and give current students what they need to become the next generation of change-makers in the information world.
This award honors Gene Joseph, the founding librarian of UBC's Xwi7xwa Library, to support Indigenous students pursuing a master's degree in library and information studies.
At the time of the first award, Joseph was one of the few First Nations librarians in Canada - now, twenty Indigenous Gene Joseph Scholars are working as information professionals. Help continue the legacy of Gene Joseph and support Indigenous people in the profession by donating to this scholarship.
