Unit Representatives

The Membership Committee of the UBC Emeritus College is establishing a comprehensive network of administrative unit representatives to carry out liaison between the College and all associated academic units. The network will build upon and augment the contributions made by the splendid group of unit representatives who were critical to the success of the former UBC Association of Professors Emeriti (UBCAPE).

Our intention is that there will be a representative for each administrative unit. Below you can find the current list of representatives per faculty and then unit.
If you wish to become a unit representative, please contact the Chair of the membership committee, David Hill.
