alumni UBC launched a number of scalable and budget-friendly initiatives throughout the pandemic to engage regionally based alumni in the absence of staff travel and large in person events. From their unique Around the World virtual event series, to a new magazine section featuring alumni living around the world, to the launch of My Town Meetups where regional alumni can host casual gatherings for their location, alumni UBC has been busy connecting their global alumni community in creative ways through the most challenging of times. This presentation will provide specifics about each of these programs, how collaboration has made these pilots possible, what the team has learned - and how these new initiatives have changed the way alumni UBC thinks about regional alumni engagement.
