Online
Book Club
We have created an online book club exclusively for UBC alumni, focusing on lifelong learning, leadership, harnessing creativity, communication skills and much, much more. The book club will connect through a private forum where alumni can discuss the current book and connect with each other.
The Next Online Book Club Selection
Help transform Canada into a place we can all be proud of by reading and discussing Jody Wilson-Raybould’s groundbreaking roadmap True Reconciliation.
The question that Canadians most frequently ask Jody Wilson-Raybould (LLB’99) is: “What can I do to help reconciliation?” A former BC regional chief of the Assembly of First Nations and Canada’s former Minister of Justice and Attorney General, Wilson-Raybould provides the answer in her non-fiction book True Reconciliation: How to Be a Force for Change.
Discover what actions you can take towards meaningful change across Canada as the alumni UBC Book Club reads and discusses this national bestseller, starting on January 5.
Joining the book club is completely free. You just have to pick up a copy of the book—at your library, UBC Bookstore (save 12% with your Alumni Card), or online—to enjoy. The group will read one book every two months, so you will have plenty of time to read.
Plus, you don’t have to commit to reading every book—we’re not grading you.
