Emily Selwood Memorial Award in Arts

Awards totalling $1,500 have been made available through an endowment established by friends, family, and the wider community in memory of Emily Selwood (2003-2021) for incoming first-year students entering the Faculty of Arts directly from high school who demonstrate an interest in social sciences and a commitment to community leadership or volunteering. Preference will be given to students from British Columbia. Emily's passion for social sciences brought her to study at UBC in the Faculty of Arts in the fall of 2021, where she loved her classes and quickly formed extraordinary friendships. Her kind and gentle spirit touched many lives in her 18 short years: her compassion and dedication to service led her to give back to community, help those in need, and protect the environment. She was an accomplished rower and loved camping, hiking, and being in nature. The awards are made on the recommendation of the Faculty of Arts.
