University Affairs magazine needs your help

Standard

Our award-winning magazine University Affairs is available at no charge to people who work or study at Universities Canada member institutions. Many new faculty members and graduate students are not aware of this. We would like them to enjoy the benefits of a complimentary subscription to our magazine or newsletters, and we are asking you and all other deans in Canada to help us with that.  

We at University Affairs would very much appreciate it if you could pass a message along to department heads and other people in your network. I’ve included some sample text below that you can simply cut-and-paste into an e-mail message or post on a website. The message usually has a great trickle-down effect and we look forward to welcoming many new UBC subscribers again this year. 

We thank you for your assistance.
