Meredith and Peter Quartermain Poet in Residence

With thanks to Meredith and Peter Quartermain, UBC alumna and UBC Professor Emeritus respectively, their generous gift created an endowment in 2021 to support writers with an interest in poetry. Preference is given to writers from underrepresented communities with a diverse background, such as, but not limited to, persons who identify as women, people of colour, Indigenous or 2SLGBTQIA+. 

Writers in Residence

The role of Writer in Residence at Green College was inaugurated in 1999 by Lynn Coady. Since its inception, the College has hosted several talented writers for a one term stay.

Yosef Wosk Visitors in Residence

Thanks to the generosity of Dr. Yosef Wosk, OC, OBC and UBC alumnus, Green College launched the Yosef Wosk Visitors in Residence Program in 2022 to support Indigenous academic visitors in residence. Yosef Wosk Visitors in Residence live at Green College and engage with the resident and university communities to foster the exchange of ideas and new ways of thinking and working. Since 2024, this program has been focused on bringing in leading Indigenous artists to the College.
