Be part of the excitement. Can you join us?

Graduation is perhaps the most significant academic milestone for students, their families and UBC. Together, we will be recognizing the achievements of nearly 10,000 graduating students over 28 congregation ceremonies this spring. An important part of this rite of passage are the alumni UBC-hosted Alumni Welcome Receptions at the Robert H. Lee Alumni Centre for all guests to gather in celebration.

Volunteers are essential in providing a celebratory and meaningful graduation experience for graduates, faculty and guests. We need volunteers to serve as an Alumni Centre Greeter and as a Popcorn Specialist.

Volunteer shifts are available throughout graduation: May 22-24 and 27-30. Shifts are 2.5 hours in length (with the exception of the last evening shift), covering the reception after each ceremony: 10:00 am-12:30 pm; 12:30-3:00 pm; and 3:00-5:30 pm.
