start an evolution: UBC Campaign launch

By Jessica Woolman on October 3, 2011

On September 28, 2011, UBC launched the most significant fundraising and alumni engagement campaign in Canadian history.

start an evolution aims to raise $1.5 billion for student learning, research excellence, and community engagement as well as double the number of alumni involved with the university by 2015. Donors have already committed $760 million in the years leading up to the campaign launch.

UBC Library’s role is to raise $25 million for space renewal in Asian, Koerner, and Woodward Libraries, to enhance digital collections, and to improve the Library’s technological platform.
