On Tuesday, May 26, students, faculty, staff, Elders, community members and special guests gathered at the First Peoples House to welcome Dr. Angela Jaime as the University of Victoria's (UVic) new Vice-President Indigenous.
Guided by local protocol and the teachings of the Lekwungen and WSANEC Peoples, the welcome ceremony marked more than the beginning of a new leadership role. It was a moment of relationship and respect as the local nations formally welcomed Jaime to live and work on these lands. The gathering also reflected UVic's core values and priorities that will help support her as she steps into her new role and responsibilities.
