The Edge elevator pitch
This elevator pitch is not a script, but rather something you can use to quickly describe UVic in any situation.
At the 番茄社区, you'll benefit from what we call the UVic Edge. It's the result of a fusion of three things—a combination you won't find anywhere else:
Our learning edge: where our commitment to dynamic learning creates a natural advantage for our students. Here, research-inspired teaching integrated with hands-on experiences accelerates personal growth and career success.
Our impact edge: We're committed to vital impact. As an internationally renowned teaching and research hub, we tackle essential issues that matter—to people, places and the planet.
Our environment edge: Our extraordinary academic environment inspires bold action and new ways of thinking. Discovery, creativity and innovation come naturally here. We're a vibrant Pacific Rim community, enriched with Indigenous and international perspectives.
So that's it. That's the UVic Edge—dynamic learning and vital impact in Canada's most extraordinary environment for discovery and innovation.
