UBC Office of Regional International Community Engagement (ORICE)

ORICE is the Office of Regional and International Community Engagement at UBC. With a growing number of community partners in Canada and around the world, ORICE is committed to overcoming complex social and ecological challenges. The ORICE mandate is to foster meaningful engagement between students, faculty, and communities. Students bring their discipline to life on location by connecting with community partners in a way that opens dialogue and aims to be mutually beneficial, through asset-based community development practices. ORICE provides several opportunities for engagement through programming such as the International Service Learning Program, regionally-based community engagement, and courses at UBC that bring community partners and their current areas of focus into the classroom.
