Who we are
The UFV Alumni Engagement team is proudly made up of all UFV alumni – representing the communities of Chilliwack, Abbotsford, Mission and Maple Ridge.
Whitney Fordham, MPA, BBA, bCRE
Director, Alumni Engagement
Executive Director, UFV Alumni Association
Community Engagement
Whitney (she/her) is dedicated to fostering a sense of community and building lifelong relationships between the institution and its alumni. She believes in the power of meaningful connections, connecting people with opportunities and with each other. With a Bachelor of Business Administration in Marketing with a Minor in Economics from UFV and a Master of Public Administration from the University of Victoria, Whitney brings a wealth of knowledge and expertise to her role, having worked at UFV for over 17 years. Recognized with a 2023 Inspirational Leadership Award, Whitney’s authentic approach creates an inclusive and welcoming alumni community.
Passionate about serving the communities of the Fraser Valley, Whitney contributes her skillset as a council member for the Abbotsford Chamber of Commerce’s Company of Young Professionals and Entrepreneurs (CYPE) program, and as a board member for the Abbotsford Executives Association.
Outside of work and community involvement, Whitney is a life-long learner who maintains an active lifestyle through sports and outdoor activities like soccer, fastpitch, hiking, snowboarding, paddleboarding, kayaking, golfing, and various fitness activities.
Bryan Candy, BA
Manager, Alumni Engagement
Bryan is a life-long learner, father, and UFV alum. His post-secondary journey began in 2001 where he gravitated towards the robust theatre program on the old Chilliwack campus. He also took an interest in English and creative writing and was fortunate to write his first novel while studying at UFV.
After graduating with a BA in 2008, he taught English in Korea and later began upgrading his education with certificates and online learning. The added training facilitated a shift in careers from teaching into marketing where he was able to further develop the skillset that he uses today in Alumni Engagement.
Bryan has been in love with UFV since his first days on campus as a student, and is absolutely thrilled to be here as a working professional. Outside of work he spends his time trying to keep up with his kids, reading, watching series and films, and making a feeble attempt to play fantasy football.
Maggi Davis, BA (On leave)
Coordinator, Alumni Engagement
Community Engagement
UFV became Maggi’s home away from home in the fall of 2007 as a student and later her permanent workplace in 2017. After earning two degrees (BA English ’17, AA ’12) and experiencing many adventures through working and volunteering on campus, Maggi developed a passion for lifelong learning that shines through in everything she does. She now works with a team that creates opportunities for fellow alumni to continue learning, share their expertise, and enjoy perks and discounts. This role keeps her busy and constantly seeking new connections.
Maggi is also a mother of two children and two fur babies. She is an avid reader, amateur musician, sporadic writer, artist, and adventurous cook. Occasionally, her partner convinces her to try sports, with her preferences being snowboarding, canoeing, hiking, and golf.
Anthony Biondi, BA
Digital Engagement Strategist, Alumni Engagement
Community Engagement
Anthony (Tony) Biondi (he/him) is a life-long storyteller. He works tirelessly to share the stories of UFV’s alumni, and to give space and voice to people who would not otherwise have the chance. He is an impassioned community builder and is always looking for ways to make people feel welcome, included, and heard. That also means he considers himself a life-long learner.
In his spare time, he reads and collects mountains of books, enjoys role-playing in games like Dungeons & Dragons, and spends as much time as possible with his wife and doggo.
