UBC recognizes the foundational importance of health and wellbeing to our success as individuals, as a university and as a community. The CCWS is a comprehensive, voluntary, and confidential online survey to assess the health and wellbeing status of students, faculty and staff, and the results will help shape how UBC community members live, work, learn, and enjoy our campuses for years to come.
The survey deadline is May 17, 2024.
