What if you could take a course that met the first-year English and reasoning requirements for a Bachelor of Arts, had a thematic focus while exploring several academic disciplines, featured several cool field trips and guest speakers, allowed to you to get to know a core group of fellow arts students, and gave you a…Plecas named professor emeritus at UFV
The University of the Fraser Valley has been through a lot of changes over the past few decades, and Dr. Darryl Plecas was around for most of them.

As program head, he guided…Three student speakers to shine at convocation

As B.C.’s political gears ground towards May’s provincial election, one man was as ubiquitous as Twitter’s pervasive #bcpoli hashtag. And no, we don’t mean Adrian Dix.

But as he…Making history: innovative history course puts local stories from WW

Even after…Too Many Big Paintings for such a small space
After four semesters together, UFV's Painting IV class invites you to an evening of large art in a rather small gallery. Each painting is 4x5 feet in size. The works vary in theme and artistic vision, including a range of subjects from porcelain kitten figurines to rappers of the ‘80s. The students invite you to…Donation allows UFV student writing to reach high school audience

As the provincial election kicks into high gear, people with connections to UFV are involved in several campaigns. Some are high-profile candidates, while others are helping behind the scenes. While UFV is bound by law to be non-political and does not endorse candidates, UFV president Mark Evered is pleased with the level of activity shown…Absolute Style features gorgeous garments galore
With Absolute Style hosting nearly 1,000 people marveling at 100 original garments presented by 28 models, the one thing you don’t want to be on April 25 is fashionably late. The last loose ends are being snipped and tied this week as the University of the Fraser Valley’s Fashion Design program puts finishing touches on…Feast your senses at UFV’s Visual Arts Show
