UBC Emeritus College Storytelling Project
Want to share your experiences, as well as research, artistic and community achievements in retirement? We'd love to hear from you!
All organizations need stories to bring them to life, and who better to bring the Emeritus College to life than its members?
You are doing amazing things in retirement. You are inspiring people, ideas and actions for a better world. You are an important part of UBC. And the Emeritus College wants to tell your story.
Why stories matter
- Storytelling is a powerful tool to show why the Emeritus College matters within the UBC community and beyond.
- Stories highlight the experiences, as well as research, artistic and community achievements of College members and emeriti in retirement.
- Stories demonstrate how College members and emeriti contribute to UBC’s vision.
We're looking for stories that:
- Celebrate the achievements and contributions of members/emeriti in retirement.
- Highlight the impact of members/emeriti on the wider UBC community.
- Showcase College events, activities, and more.
- Underscore the value of the College at UBC.
We look forward to building our story together.
