Alumni Referral Program

Refer a Future Forestry Leader

As a UBC Forestry & Environmental Stewardship alum, your experience and connections make you a vital part of shaping the next generation of leaders in the forestry and environmental sectors. By joining the UBC Forestry & Environmental Stewardship Alumni Referral Program, you help strengthen a community dedicated to sustainability, innovation, and responsible stewardship.

When you refer a colleague, friend, peer, or family member, you’re not just supporting their professional growth, you’re helping advance the future of the field. Your referral can open doors to high-impact learning through our professional master’s programs.

As a thank-you, eligible referred applicants may be eligible for an application fee waiver for a professional master’s program. And when your referred applicant is accepted into one of our programs, you’ll be entered in a draw to win a $150 Visa gift card (see contest rules).

Together, we can empower the next generation of forestry and environmental professionals to build a more sustainable world.
