Created in 2017 as part of the 100th year of alumni UBC, the Alumni Builder Awards recognize a cross-section of alumni representing both campuses who have significantly contributed to the university and enriched the lives of others, and in doing so, have supported alumni UBC’s mission of realizing the promise of a global community with shared ambition for a better world and an exceptional UBC.
We are happy to honour this year’s Alumni Builder Award recipients and particularly proud to honour KIN alumnus, Atila Ozkaplan whose generous contributions have been recognized by the School of Kinesiology.
