The Wall Scholars Program has been a cornerstone of the Institute since 2014. Every cohort sees a unique combination of individuals, disciplines and interests come together to create a transformative experience for everyone involved. Scholars form long-lasting relationships and collaborations continue long after their year-long stay has concluded.
As part of the 2022 Wall Scholars Catalyst program, these 12 UBC scholars will come together to build connections, cultivate relationships and initiate collaborations that engage with the urgency, scale and complexity of the Climate and Nature Emergency.
The 2020 Wall Scholars cohort of 10 scholars focused on the appropriate theme of Crisis. The group’s residency took place during the COVID-19 pandemic, but despite the challenges of social distancing protocols and Zoom meetings they found innovative ways to collaborate.
