About the magazine

The University of British Columbia Magazine is a print and online publication for UBC alumni. It offers an informed and unique UBC lens on key social issues, and reflects the ingenuity and spirit of an ever-evolving university and alumni community.

Formerly known as TREK, the publication was renamed in the fall of 2022. As our readership becomes ever more global, the magazine’s new name better captures the amazing institution we represent — one that alumni are proud to call their alma mater.
