It has never been in question that the strength of the Intramural program has been found within the people who dedicate their time to bring it to life. From Nestor’s very first staff, to the staff member hired only days ago, they both share in the common trait of a willingness to immerse themselves into a community and create an experience for themselves and others unlike anything else on this campus. It comes as no surprise that those who dedicate themselves to the Intramural program are some of the most giving, caring and driven people you could ever know.
This past fall, Alyssa was recognized by President Ono for her work surrounding equity, inclusion and accessibility in sport. Specifically being the driving force for recognizing gender identity and fluidity in the realm of UBC intramural competition. Her work was been presented to her Canadian colleagues at a conference held last spring and has now been invited to present at the National Intramural and Recreation Association conference being held in Boston MA. next year. Congratulations Alyssa!
