UBC Okanagan Channels - VPFO Communications & Engagement

UBCO has a dedicated team to help you get your message out

UBC’s Okanagan campus has several channels that are used exclusively to inform students, faculty, and staff audiences in that community.

Considerations
This channel is best when… you have a message that has specific interest for the UBC Okanagan campus community.	When to change the channel? No one likes spam, so double check that your message is directly applicable to the Okanagan audience. Sometimes a strong approach is to work with the UBCO University Relations team team to create a unique Okanagan version of your campaign that leverages the work on both campuses in a unique way.
