Welcome to the UBC Emeritus College!
As a member of the College, or if you are contemplating membership, we are here to help enrich your retirement through social connections and intellectual stimulation. We promote continued engagement with UBC, academic scholarship, community involvement, well-being and healthy aging through a wide range of events, activities, services and advocacy on behalf of all College members.
Members are active in the College as much or little as they wish and their partners are welcome to attend events and activities and/or to join our mailing list. Emeritus College life is determined primarily by its membership with support from the College staff. Members chair and participate on committees and are elected by its members to govern the College, thus ensuring relevance and sustainability.

- Family involvement, travel, pursuit of personal interests, leisure activities
- Development of new interests, knowledge and skills
- Volunteerism and Community service
