The Importance of Alumni Participation

Alumni have always been pivotal to the success of the SLC, and we strive to continue this tradition. You, as an Alumni are more than just graduates of this University; instead, you are lifelong members of the UBC community that contribute to the success and achievements of the institution. Your personal and professional stories are invaluable, and will enrich each delegate’s experience of the SLC. 2011 celebrates the launch of the most profound Alumni campaign in the history of any North American University, start an evolution. We hope that your engagement will motivate our delegates to continue to give back to the UBC community.

How can Alumni get involved with the SLC 2012?

There are many ways to get involved with the SLC 2012:

1) Become a Workshop Presenter

You, as an Alumni are a wealth of knowledge. Share your evolution, expertise, and experience by crafting workshops for a wide variety of topics and present to the emerging leaders of UBC and British Columbia. Please consult the Workshop Presenter Guide for tips on how to put together an application.

The deadline to present a workshop is now closed. If you are still interested, please contact anushka@slc.ubc.ca to see if an exception should be made.

2) Give to Passions into Actions: The Student Leadership Conference Fund

All gifts will graciously be put towards the overall program cost and help to ensure we can keep delegate registration affordable for our student leaders. Former SLC delegates will be contacted by the UBC Development Office during December, or visit the UBC Development site.
*tax receipts will be provided

3) Participate as an Alumni Delegate

Come to the SLC 2012 to meet outstanding young leaders at UBC and in British Columbia. Experience the SLC first hand and participate by attending the Opening and Closing Keynote sessions (keynote speakers to be announced), hear the stories of our Feature Presenters, and enjoy each opportunity the SLC has to offer.

Registration has not yet opened for this year’s conference. Please check back in the middle of November.

5) Collaborate with students on the SLC Case Study
