Santa Ono comes from the University of Cincinnati, which is a big sports (especially football and basketball) school. One of his first tweets after being introduced as the next president stated that he looks forward to cheering for the Thunderbirds and hopes for a Vanier Cup repeat.Robbie wrote:UBC recently announced their new president, Santa Ono. In light of UBC winning the Vanier Cup last year, I wonder if he will pledge to give more funding to the athletic department and improve the chances of winning another Vanier Cup and other CIS championships. My belief is that he will continue the trend of previous UBC presidents with limited funding for athletics and more funding on academics and he just stated that will tackle students' personal issues like rape culture and depression.
