What We Do

The Black Professionals Leadership Program (BPL) is a holistic mentorship and professional support initiative that implements UVic's strategic priority to entrench “equity, diversity, inclusion and dialogue throughout the university community so that all members feel welcomed, valued and supported to achieve their highest potentials.”

The BPL is unique in offering comprehensive support frameworks to enhance learning and promote wellness for Black students enrolled in any university program.
In partnership with UVic departments and faculties and world-class advisors in Canada and the USA, the BPL in its pilot stage will focus on supporting Black law students through programs designed to improve Black student representation and retention in the legal profession.
