Alumni Affiliate Program

UBC Dentistry created the Alumni Affiliate Program to recognize important professional and community contributors as honorary alumni of the Faculty.

Identifying Alumni Affiliates

Participate in a unique recognition program! As a valued alumnus, we call on you to identify worthy candidates.

Alumni Affiliates are any member of the professional community who embodies the qualities that best serve our students. Whether they have spent time teaching and mentoring students or advocating for diversity, equity and inclusion within the profession and Faculty, we would love to recognize their dedication and commitment by inviting them to join our UBC Dentistry Alumni family.
