Campaign Circle

Partners in purpose

Volunteers

The Campaign Circle is comprised of UBC donors, alumni and friends who are committed to increasing philanthropic support and alumni engagement in support of UBC. In community engagement and philanthropy, these visionaries represent some of the change makers of our province, our country, and our global community. They are helping UBC imagine a world where we can fast forward innovation into impact; where the pursuit of health and happiness is equitable; where energy sources are transformed; where we develop a generation of responsible leaders, and together we overcome societies’ deepest divides. UBC gives our deepest thanks to this committed group for inspiring people, actions, and ideas for a better world.
