University of Victoria
The University of Victoria (usually known as UVic) is located on southern Vancouver Island in Victoria, British Columbia, Canada. It is a relatively small university, with approximately 18,000 students, as of 2003.
It attracts many students in part because of its size, its location in the beautiful city of Victoria, and co-op program - which is the third largest in Canada. Despite its small size, it has one of the best law schools in Canada.
The University is one of Canada's younger universities, having been given its charter in 1963. Before that time, it existed as Victoria College from 1903.
The current president of the university is David H. Turpin, and its chancellor is Ronald Lou-Poy.
