The UBC Emeritus College is Canada’s only academic unit for emeriti, retired faculty, senior administrators and librarians. The College seeks to foster healthy aging and lifelong learning for its nearly 2,000 members through lectures, special interest groups, workshops and financial support for research.
UBC’s emeriti founded programs, schools, institutes, centres and faculties. They recruited the university’s current leaders and mentored thousands of students now driving meaningful change around the world. Many emeriti continue to advance groundbreaking research and serve as community leaders in retirement.
The College acts as a bridge between UBC and its members—connecting them to the academic environment they helped shape and giving them the opportunity to share their experience and partner for purpose to nurture a strong and vibrant UBC community and beyond.
