You may be wondering, “Why is it called Aggie Week?”
Well, the Land and Food Systems used to be called “Agricultural Sciences”. It was one of the founding faculties of UBC in 1916 and ‘Aggies’ was a shortened term for ‘Agricultural’, mainly used colloquially. This was until an amalgamation occurred a number of years ago that combined a number of different faculties together, warranting a new name for the faculty.
