SUPPORT THE EMERITUS COLLEGE

UBC's Emeritus College is a vibrant, interdisciplinary community where retired faculty members can continue contributing to academic life and society. Retirement can bring both a sense of accomplishment and new challenges, from managing daily transitions to redefining professional identity. Through the College, members stay connected to the academic environment they helped shape, using their experience to benefit peers, the UBC community and the broader public, while strengthening bonds across generations. 

The full range of activities and benefits are available by clicking on the links. By supporting the Emeritus College today, you can help sustain a network that values lifelong learning, and the connections forged over decades of teaching and research. The College relies on financial support from its members, so please consider donating to ensure emeriti continue to inspire, shape and enrich the UBC community with their knowledge. 

Thank you for thinking of the College in your giving plans. And remember as well, there are significant tax benefits to giving!

If you can support the College, please consider one of the following two options:

College Endowment Fund

Contributions to the College Endowment provides an important strategy for sustainability, allowing the College to support strategic initiatives through a reliable funding source that grows over time. UBC sets the annual allocation rate (currently 3.5%) and ensures continuing growth of the fund through institutional investment.

Annual Donation

Contributions to the endowment generate cash flow slowly over time as the endowment grows. We therefore rely on annual contributions to support the existing programs. This contribution can be sturctured as either a one-time donation or as a monthly contribution.
