A little over a hundred years after its founding, UBC has become one of the finest universities in the world thanks to the hard work, passion, and inspiration of tens of thousands of faculty, staff, and alumni. In this section of the Legacy website, we hope to capture the stories of some of those people: memories, portraits, anecdotes, and descriptions of events and experiences that, taken together, make up the history of our university. We welcome your written recollections and reminiscences for inclusion here. Our hope is that members from every area of UBC will participate, whether to recall a favourite class or professor, to describe a sports triumph (or frustrating loss!), to look back on club activities, remember a favourite hangout, relive an escapade while you were in residence…anything that speaks of your interaction with UBC and its impact on your life then and subsequently. Details about submitting material can be found here. |
