    Stay connected with UBC Nursing and your fellow alumni

The School of Nursing is grateful for the welcoming spirit of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam) First Nation, on whose traditional, ancestral, unceded territory we gather to work, learn, and teach.

UBC Nursing Alumni have made remarkable contributions as nurses, educators, scholars, and community leaders. We have been fortunate to have some of their stories documented and sent to us by members of the UBC Nursing community.

Throughout our centenary, your Alumni Engagement Team has supplemented these stories with 100 new ones – at least one from each graduating class. We continue to gather and to share what our alumni have been up to and how they have used their nursing degree. We look forward to hearing the stories of your time at UBC, what you have gone on to achieve, and/or tales of your colleagues’ good works! And please send pictures! Need help? We’re here for you.
