Program design was refined in consultation with local, national and international researchers and education specialists, most notably the internationally renowned Dr. Nancy Robinson, Founder and Dr. Kate Noble, Director of the Transition School at the University of Washington, Seattle. The Program evolved through outstanding leadership from VSB and UBC as well as from parents and the students. Courtesy of the Office of the UBC President, the Program relocated to several classrooms nestled on the second floor of the Auditorium Annex B on the UBC campus in 1998 therein promoting a pre-university identity, career and university course explorations and access to diverse UBC facilities with the privilege of a UBC student card for access to UBC libraries.<ref>{{Cite web |title=UBC - Transition Program |url=https://vancouver.calendar.ubc.ca/admissions/applicants-following-bcyukon-secondary-school-curriculum/transition-program}}</ref>
