People are what make LFS thrive!

As part of the Faculty’s strategic plan – the 2021-2026 LFS Action Plan – we place a high priority on attracting and retaining outstanding faculty and staff, and aim to be a destination of choice by creating an exceptional work environment.
In support of this, we promote opportunities and programs that recognize staff and faculty, and that create a culture of celebration. Visit the Recognize Your Colleagues page to find out more about the Random Acts of Recognition program and to learn more about your colleagues.
We encourage you to submit ideas to make the workplace better – that’s why we have introduced the Bright Ideas Program where we will fund (partially or in full) approved ideas that aim to improve the workplace. We invite you to see previously funded ideas.
Visit UBC’s Workplace Experience Survey to see what your colleagues are saying about working at LFS.
