Hello and welcome! I'm Kyle, and I'm in my fifth year studying chemistry and environmental studies at the University of Victoria. We acknowledge with respect the Lkwungen-speaking peoples on whose traditional territory the University of Victoria stands, and the Songhees, Esquimalt and WSÁNEĆ peoples whose historical relationships with the land continue to this day. UVic offers Canada's most extraordinary environment for discovery and innovation. That makes it a special place to explore to find a path that's right for you at one of the country's top universities. At UVic you'll get a chance to experience hands-on dynamic learning and work on vital issues that matter to people, places and the planet. It's what we call the "UVic Edge." And it's all here in a spectacular West Coast environment. Before we get started, let me explain the many ways you can explore our beautiful campus. You can click on the forward facing arrow to start walking around. You can jump to the next stop by clicking on the "Next" button. - Now, if you already know where you want to go, you can select any location by using the list OR by clicking directly on the map. Lastly, remember that you can explore any particular location in more detail by clicking the supplemental icons.
