Bryan Candy headshot

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

Coordinator, Alumni Engagement
Community Engagement

UFV became my home away from home in the fall of 2007 as a student and permanent workplace in 2017. After two degrees (BA English ’17, AA’ 12) and many adventures working and volunteering around campus, I developed a passion for life-long learning that shines through whatever I am doing. I am now working with a team that creates opportunities for my fellow alumni to continue to learn, share their expertise, and get access to perks and discounts. This work keeps me busy, constantly seeking new connections.

I am also a mother of two humans and two fur babies. I am an avid reader, amateur musician, sporadic writer, artist, and adventurous cook. Occasionally my partner talks me into trying sports, with my 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.
