Welcome back!!

The school of human kinetics (school of physical education- and recreation) as has been known over the years is now officially back to assist Alumni with the human relations side of alumni affairs.

With the support of the present director, Dr Robert Sparks, a small group of dedicated committee members has worked over the three years to get our Alumni Affairs organization back in business. Our major goal is to provide opportunities for all HKIN Alumni to obtain information about UBC related matters provide a networking service, and re-introduce opportunities for graduates to get together at special events. In addition to our new web site, there will be a regular e-mail newsletter and specific event information. Register online to receive your Alumni news and obtain personalized information related to UBC business and events. Please be sure to check out our “Names in the News” page for the latest developments and feature articles about our graduates.

Tuum est.

Mission Statement

The UBC Alumni Association subscribes to the concept that a university is an institution with which members enjoy a life-long relationship beginning with their student years. The role of the Association is to facilitate the relationship of graduates with their alma mater and to support the university in the pursuit of excellence. The objectives of the School of Human Kinetics Alumni Division are to foster the relationship between the graduates and the students of the School of Human Kinetics and the University of British Columbia and to foster their professional advancement.

Specifically, these objectives include:

• to maintain a close association between the School of Human Kinetics and its graduates;
• to put the human and other resources of the University of British Columbia as far as possible at the disposal of graduates of the School of Human Kinetics;
• to encourage and support continuing professional education for graduates of the School of Human Kinetics and for physical educators in the Province of British Columbia;
• in cooperation with the Alumni Association to raise funds to assist financially the School of Human Kinetics and its students;
• to inform the public and solicit their support for the School of Human Kinetics; to provide a forum for members of the Division to discuss matters of common interest
