Interested in Hosting One of alumni UBC's 100 Dinners?

Share the excitement of alumni UBC 100 where you live by hosting a 100 Dinners gathering during alumni UBC’s 100th year. You can reconnect with old friends, make new connections, and discover the common ground you share with your fellow alumni over food and conversation. Since you’re the host, you can determine how small or how big you want your dinner to be!

If you’re interested in hosting a dinner, please fill out the form by August 31 and an alumni UBC representative will be in touch via email to confirm your interest. After this time, you’ll still be able to sign up to host when the 100 Dinners webpage officially launches.
