UVic has arranged for credit monitoring services to be provided for one year without charge to current and former employees affected by the Jan. 7-8 break-in and theft of personal information. Instructions for credit monitoring are now available on the UVic Personal Information Theft webpage. Saanich Police have recovered some equipment believed stolen during the break-in. As well, a preliminary report on the theft of personal information from UVic has been prepared for UVic's Board of Governor's Jan. 31 meeting. More information and  updates

Great teachers  help shape lives. That’s why movies like Finding Forrester, Dead Poets Society and To Sir, With Love can resonate so deeply. Now, a new initiative launched in January by UVic’s Learning and Teaching Centre is helping inspire the next generation of university professors. Teaching excellence is a top priority at UVic, and at the end of January, past recipients of UVic teaching awards opened their classroom doors for two days to graduate students for a firsthand experience of excellent teaching in action.
