A new Alumni Office has been opened in Hong Kong. The office will serve as a link among UBC, its alumni and potential students. It will also be made available to visiting UBC faculty. The office is the result of support from the UBC Alumni Branch in Hong Kong, the Faculty of Commerce and Business Administration and the Alumni Association.
Space for the office, which is located in central Hong Kong, was provided by UBC alumnus and Hong Kong alumni branch governor Dr. Anthony Cheng.
The Hong Kong branch is one of the largest and most active outside Canada.
