The competitive sport model presented here is a conceptual framework developed to function as a vision for the future and a starting place for the new managing director. The model has evolved from this starting framework, and will continue to do so based on feedback provided through ongoing input from stakeholders.
Sport and recreation play an important role in the UBC student experience and the University’s rich history. Wins on the world stage and a long, proud Thunderbirds legacy are a significant part of this history, as are the many ways in which the entire UBC community engages with sport.
Looking forward
A new conceptual model for competitive sport at UBC’s Vancouver campus was developed to reflect this history and set us on a path to greater excellence in the future. The model was formed by a Think Tank of experts including senior administrators, academics, and partners in the private sector, as well as through consultation with passionate stakeholders.
