“This first installment in a series of upcoming Alumni Q&A’s gives students insight into the potential outcomes of the majors offered through the university’s Bachelor of Business Administration degree. I interviewed a recent UFV grad who is now in their respective field, discussing studies and their leap into the job market and what sort of things they experienced. This week I spoke with Matthew Kidwell, a recent UFV graduate who pursued finance, one of the UFV BBA majors, and who is now working in the field at RBC Phillips, Hager & North Investment Counsel Inc. in Vancouver.” Read more

These are the hummingbird and beaver illustrations I did for the 2021 UFV Alumni Wine. I have a limited number of 8 x 10 prints available ($15 each or both for $25 + shipping or local pu). If you're interested in this run of prints shoot me an email or DM!

Descriptions:

Hummingbird: My grandmother loved to fill the hummingbird feeders while watching the little rainbows peek in the window waiting for their nectar and sharing that joy with my mother. When grandma was sick in the hospital, she asked my mom to feed them. After her passing my mother saw many hummingbirds around her home; she had never seen them up close like that. She continues to feed the hummingbirds, smiling as they flutter by reminding her of her own mother. Indigenous teachings say the hummingbird symbolizes love, beauty, and joy.

Beaver: The hard-working beaver is one of the official symbols of Canada. These little carpenters and engineers work as a team to take care of their own as well as the environment, building dams to house their families and maintain river systems. Indigenous teachings say that the beaver also symbolizes strength, creativity, and harmony.

The UFV Alumni Association, in collaboration with the South Asian Studies Institute and UFV India, recently organized a social networking event for the Chandigarh students who are now studying at the Abbotsford campus. An ocean away from home, the thrill and excitement of meeting with people who share your culture and have gone through a similar journey was unmistakable.
