My Town
Meetups
Greater distances from UBC campuses can mean greater challenges in finding and meeting fellow alumni. So for those who live outside our campus communities in the Lower Mainland and Central Okanagan, we’ve created My Town Meetups to help alumni find each other and build social networks — anywhere in the world!
Curious who’s out there? Get to know your local UBC community by attending or hosting a My Town Meetup.
Whether you studied linguistics or law, graduated in 1965 or 2022, or live in San Diego, Stockholm or Seoul, you can gather in person or virtually on Zoom.
Hosting a meetup is easy. Just select a date and time, pick a venue, decide who you want to invite — and alumni UBC will do the rest!
