2026 Celebrate Learning Week
May 4 - May 8
This year we invite the UBC community to pause, reflect, and celebrate learning in all its forms. Centered on people and shared experiences, it honours learning that happens across seasons and spaces—inside classrooms, out in the field, and throughout everyday life. From small, quiet moments to meaningful challenges and breakthroughs, Celebrate Learning Week recognizes teaching and learning as an ongoing journey shaped by growth, connection, and the collective stories that bring our community together.
From May 4 to May 8, 2026, the Provosts and Vice-President Academic from UBCO and UBCV will collaboratively present this cross-campus week-long initiative showcasing teaching and learning at UBC through open lectures, poster sessions, panel discussions, workshops and more. UBC faculty, staff and students as well as community members are encouraged to participate in Celebrate Learning Week by attending and/or coordinating events. Learn more about CLW.
