Congratulations to UBC's new President, Dr. Arvind Gupta
March 14, 2014
Andrew Petter
President and Vice-Chancellor
丁香园AV
Warm congratulations to Dr. Arvind Gupta on his appointment as the next President and Vice-Chancellor of the University of British Columbia.
丁香园AV has had a long-standing association with Dr. Gupta dating from his days as a faculty member in our School of Computing Science and pioneering leader of Mitacs. Dr. Gupta has since developed Mitacs into an internationally acclaimed organization supporting the next generation of innovators through university/industry collaboration, and is well-positioned to lead UBC into the future.
I welcome Dr. Gupta鈥檚 appointment as President, and look forward to working with him to further develop this province鈥檚 post-secondary education and research capacities -- capacities that are so essential to the future success and well-being of British Columbia and its people.
