Computer Science Tri-Mentoring Program
Perhaps you have participated as a student mentee and would like to give back, perhaps you'd simply want to share your experience with the younger generation. As long as you are connected to UBC, we welcome your consideration of being a mentor. Find out more about the Computer Science Tri-Mentoring Program and the commitment as a mentor. When you are ready, email trimentoring@cs.ubc.ca, introduce yourself to us, and send us your LinkedIn profile if you have one.
Science Alumni Networking Night
Participate in small round-table discussions with UBC Science students at the Science Alumni Networking Night. There is no prep-work to be done ahead of time, just a willingness to talk and share your knowledge and expertise. The time between mentors and students can be full of advice-giving, educational background, and career information or any other questions of interest. Email alumni@science.ubc.ca to participate.
Faculty of Science Alumni Trailblazer
Science alumni come from a variety of disciplines and we want to learn more about you and your world since graduation. During an informal interview you could share your accomplishments, travel adventures, field work or career transitions. Your story may be posted on the UBC Science website and could be featured in UBC Science Connect. Selections and submissions will be selected based on editorial interest, and edited for length and clarity.
Estimated time commitment: Interviews can be done via email or zoom/approx’ 30min max.
Send a Note of Hope and Inspiration
Take a moment to help to brighten a UBC student’s day by writing them a quick note of hope, inspiration, and encouragement. It’s an easy way to keep in touch with campus and our students no matter where in the world you are! Feel free to write whatever you would like, but please keep the tone light and friendly. Share your campus memories, secrets about the best spots to study, or some friendly advice!
