As a member of Green College, you will become part of a close-knit interdisciplinary academic community that extends around the world. Resident members—postdoctoral scholars and graduate students—form the core of our residential community. In their time at Green College, resident members contribute to a community in which interdisciplinarity, creativity, and the unique contributions of every member are highly prized. You will meet extraordinary people here, and we hope you’ll make lifelong friends. 

After their time in residence at college, resident members become Green College society members, joining a community of over 1,000 former residents. We welcome society members back to the college for social and academic events, and we encourage society members to share their news and achievements with us.

Each year, we welcome many distinguished and emerging visitors and guests, who enrich the residential experience. 

UBC faculty members and potential visitors are encouraged to join our community and participate in college life, including in the following ways:

• Newly appointed UBC faculty members are invited to apply for our Leading Scholars program. This two-year program gives you an opportunity to meet peers and establish interdisciplinary connections at the outset of your time at UBC;
• Other UBC faculty members can become members of common room, participating in college life especially in our academic programming;
• UBC faculty members can nominate distinguished and emerging interdisciplinary scholars, artists, and musicians to visit the college under the auspices of our visiting lectureships;
• Everyone is welcome to attend our public events.

We hope you’ll consider joining our interdisciplinary conversation, in the spirit of sharing ideas and friendship.
