SPPH doctoral student Amarildo Ceka is working with community partner Mimoza Pachuku from MOSAIC BC to address priority issues across B.C. They are awarded the 2023-24 Community-University Engagement Support (CUES) Fund for their project, named “SCOPE Social and Civic Opportunities: Pathways to Equity Program.”
CUES funding is paid directly to community partners and prioritizes reciprocal, inclusive engagement. This approach ensures all communities—especially those historically, persistently or systemically marginalized—can benefit.
Since its inception in 2018, the CUES Fund has awarded more than $3.2 million to 142 community-university partnerships, engaging UBC partners from 18 faculties across both Vancouver and Okanagan campuses.
