Global Alumni
Network

UBC alumni live and work in over 150 countries around the world. We keep in touch with those grads – and they keep in touch with each other – through our Global Alumni Network. We have a number of Alumni Leadership Committees and Global Alumni Ambassadors who help represent alumni UBC in cities around the world and strengthen the alumni community in their region. They are available to answer local questions you may have, and they help bring fellow alumni together through virtual or in person gatherings, and other types of initiatives, too.

Look for your local contact below, or reach out to the alumni UBC team to explore openings in your region.

Another option for meeting other UBC grads in your area is to host or attend a My Town Meetup. These get-togethers provide opportunities for alumni living outside our campus communities in the Lower Mainland and Central Okanagan to find each other and build their networks over a meal or coffee, or virtually over Zoom.

To get the most relevant information for your region, including event invitations, please update your address.

Fun Facts

  • My first name is actually Elizabeth, even though I’ve always been called Chelsea because my parents wanted my first name to be formal. My full name is Elizabeth Chelsea Guy.
  • My last name is actually supposed to be Ngai. When my grandfather immigrated to Canada from China, he told the immigration officer what his last name was. He interpreted it as Guy, so we are the Guys in Canada!
