About this Event

From Campus to Council: UBC Alumni Leading Vancouver's Policy Future

What happens when UBC graduates take the reins of city leadership?
Moderated by SPPGA Professor Max Cameron, join Vancouver City Councillors Mike Klassen, Lisa Dominato, and Lenny Zhou—all proud UBC alumni—for a dynamic conversation on their professional journeys and the priorities shaping Vancouver’s municipal agenda.

Together, they will explore how their time at UBC influenced their paths into public service, how they now navigate the complexities of city governance, and the leadership lessons gained along the way.

This event offers a unique opportunity to connect with alumni who are making a tangible impact on the city—and to explore how academic experiences can translate into civic leadership.
