Meet Our Alumni: Braydon Neiszner
“You will forever be a part of this incredible network, no matter where you are in the world. When I have ‘UBC’ on my university sweater out in public, and someone recognizes UBC – you realize how much the network stretches across the world.”
Meet Our Alumni: Sarah El Kaissi
“People should know the incredible experience isn’t limited to the Economics program, it is universal. Like everyone who goes to UBCO, I have nothing but amazing things to say about the university. It felt like a second home, and I miss it a lot.”
Meet Our Alumni: Elliott Hayton
“When deciding to go to UBCO, something I’m forever grateful for but didn’t consider was the close-knit community on the campus. I met some of my very best friends on my very first day. There are not 1000 students in high rise buildings. It allowed us to foster important connections, and it wasn’t something I expected, but was so important looking back at my experience.”
