Description: The Spitz family—Warren, Maureen, Gregory, Kelsey and Mathew—created the Spitz Family Award and Fellows Program in collaboration with the UBC Sauder School of Business, the Ch’nook Indigenous Business Education Initiative at UBC Sauder, and input from both Indigenous and academic communities.
Their hope for each Fellow is that post-secondary education will be an opportunity for students to express and nurture their whole self—to both discover and pursue the leader the Fellow envisions of themselves. They encourage each Fellow to reflect on what that means and to hold onto that throughout their time at UBC and on their journey after graduation.
