The 22-year-old biology major began collecting bugs after an entomology course at UBC -- not to eat them, but to examine and identify them. Clarke finds the prized samples around her family’s Vancouver apartment, which (to the mild chagrin of her parents) often doubles as both home and lab storage. Like the freezer, the patio has been commandeered for science: lounge chairs vie for space with bags of seaweed for a project and the carcass of a beached bird carried home to identify for a survey. Clarke’s scientific inclinations admittedly present some challenges to the creeds of Martha Stewart Living, but her intrepid love for biology is a lifestyle in its own right. “I have a lot of questions about the natural world,” says Clarke. “I want to know the names of the living things I see, how they came to be, how they’re related to one another, how they depend on one another, how they work. Biology is just really cool; I think I’ve always wanted to study it.” Taking her curiosity beyond the classroom, Clarke looks for jobs that feed her fascination. https://alumnidigest.com/stories/how-to-catch-a-woodpecker/index.md 2026-09-27 monthly 0.6 https://alumnidigest.com/stories/beyond-diversity/ 2026-09-27 monthly 0.7 https://alumnidigest.com/assets/ubc/editorial/archive-story-08.png Beyond diversity A welcoming and inclusive workplace requires a willingness to change the status quo. Improving employee diversity has often been pushed as the cure-all for creating equitable and inclusive workplaces. And yet when people are hired into a new workplace, they are often expected to assimilate to its cultural norms. The challenge is that while the creation of a diverse workforce is a positive step, it takes more to create a workplace culture in which all employees can thrive. https://alumnidigest.com/stories/beyond-diversity/index.md 2026-09-27 monthly 0.6 https://alumnidigest.com/stories/a-stitch-in-time/ 2026-09-27 monthly 0.7 https://alumnidigest.com/assets/ubc/editorial/archive-story-09.png A stitch in time The pandemic has spawned a sewing surge and a chance to rediscover the practical arts. United Kingdom Prime Minister Boris Johnson sent Britons Googling this past fall when he said “a stitch in time saves nine” to describe actions to prevent the spread of COVID-19. The phrase means it’s better to spend a little time solving a little problem now to prevent spending more time on a bigger problem later. As the BBC reported, it’s a sewing reference that can be traced back to 1723. https://alumnidigest.com/stories/a-stitch-in-time/index.md 2026-09-27 monthly 0.6 https://alumnidigest.com/stories/the-gathering-place/ 2026-09-27 monthly 0.7 https://alumnidigest.com/assets/ubc/editorial/archive-story-16.png The gathering place Communities are shaping their public spaces into social places. The Ancient Greeks called it the agora – “the gathering place” – a large, public venue that served as an anchor for the local populace to interact, a predecessor to the more contemporary notion of the town square. A hub of economic, political, and social activity, the agora was the heartbeat of the city-state, where one might indulge in a concert, an exhibition, a vote, a protest, a grocery pickup, and a philosophical debate all over the course of an evening stroll. The anxiety disorder agoraphobia – which keeps sufferers locked in their homes with the curtains drawn – literally means “fear of the gathering place.” https://alumnidigest.com/stories/the-gathering-place/index.md 2026-09-27 monthly 0.6 https://alumnidigest.com/stories/the-ideal-city/ 2026-09-27 monthly 0.7 https://alumnidigest.com/assets/ubc/editorial/archive-story-17.png The ideal city?

Yes, we should get rid of tipping in Canada. Tipping tends to be a feature of interactive service work in which the service worker interacts directly with the customer, granting a degree of supervisory power to the customer. This is useful in workplaces where the service provided cannot just be standardized and dictated to the worker but rather lies in the worker’s ability to respond to the individualized needs and wants of the customer. But most of us tip habitually, not in response to service quality, and tipping amplifies the power dynamic between customer and service worker, potentially introducing pressure for the worker to cater to unreasonable or demeaning expectations and/or to reinforce social inequalities that already structure social interactions (like biases associated with race, gender, age, or body size, for example). If tipping doesn’t actually do what it is supposed to do, workers should just be paid fully for their work, and managers – not customers – should assume responsibility for service quality.

Following the Arab Spring uprisings of the early 2010s, there was a flood of optimism about social media’s potential to unleash democracy around the world. “If you want to liberate a society, just give them the Internet,” said activist and Google executive Wael Ghonim after Egypt’s Mubarak regime was toppled. Many believed that Facebook, Twitter, and other digital platforms would amplify marginalized voices and hold the powerful accountable. https://alumnidigest.com/stories/how-to-fight-disinformation/index.md 2026-09-27 monthly 0.6 https://alumnidigest.com/stories/democracy-down-but-not-out/ 2026-09-27 monthly 0.7 https://alumnidigest.com/assets/ubc/editorial/archive-story-36.png Democracy: Down, but not out People rallied at the Michigan State Capitol in February to oppose the US administration – one of many similar protests held across the US.

We can plot out a career path as best we can, but often life has other plans. Sometimes a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity comes your way, and you have to drop everything to take it. Sometimes the path you planned for doesn’t unfold how you imagined, but if you stick with it, it will be even more rewarding than you expected. Sometimes a tragedy (or a blessing) shifts your entire perspective on life. In fact, the way you respond to unexpected events might be what truly shapes your career—as these UBC grads know all too well. https://alumnidigest.com/stories/the-unexpected-events-that-shaped-these-alumnis-careers/index.md 2026-09-27 monthly 0.6 https://alumnidigest.com/stories/ubc-developed-wood-foam-enters-production-as-indigenous-led-pilot-plant-opens-in-vancouver/ 2026-09-27 monthly 0.7 https://alumnidigest.com/assets/ubc/editorial/archive-story-63.png UBC-developed ‘wood foam’ enters production as Indigenous-led pilot plant opens in Vancouver A landmark partnership between the Wet’suwet’en First Nation and UBC is pioneering a made-in-B.C. solution to the global plastic crisis, turning local forestry waste into biodegradable foam packaging.

The degree was built with community partners and follows earlier Interior Salish language programs at UBCO. The source reports fewer than 50 fluent speakers in the northern St’át’imc area, making the cohort’s work part of a much larger effort to keep language in use. Graduates described applying what they learned in early-childhood education, at home and in continued study. The story’s most durable image is not a credential alone. It is a circle of learners who supported one another across distance, then returned that learning to families and communities. https://alumnidigest.com/stories/a-language-degree-becomes-a-community-practice/index.md 2026-09-27 monthly 0.6 https://alumnidigest.com/stories/where-a-city-needs-shade-most/ 2026-09-27 monthly 0.7 https://alumnidigest.com/assets/ubc/editorial/archive-story-66.png Where a city needs shade most A UBC tool called CanopyFit is designed to help cities place trees with more precision. Instead of treating canopy as an even layer, it combines heat and equity data with the physical constraints that determine where planting is actually possible. That changes the planning problem. The best site is not simply an empty patch on a map; it is a place where cooling, access and feasibility overlap. The tool gives municipal teams a way to see those trade-offs together. For alumni living in growing cities, the idea is tangible: a greener street is also an argument about who gets comfort, shade and public investment. https://alumnidigest.com/stories/where-a-city-needs-shade-most/index.md 2026-09-27 monthly 0.6 https://alumnidigest.com/stories/a-summer-of-ordinary-moments/ 2026-09-27 monthly 0.7 https://alumnidigest.com/assets/ubc/editorial/august-story-43.png A summer of ordinary moments Minhal Hasnain’s vignettes treat a university memory as something seen from the side: a room, a path, a conversation, a detail that stays after the formal account has ended. That is the right opening note for August. Summer loosens the timetable, and the campus becomes a collection of moments rather than a single destination. https://alumnidigest.com/stories/a-summer-of-ordinary-moments/index.md 2026-09-27 monthly 0.6 https://alumnidigest.com/stories/a-gentler-way-through-the-first-job-search/ 2026-09-27 monthly 0.7 https://alumnidigest.com/assets/ubc/editorial/august-story-44.png A gentler way through the first job search The first job search is often described as a test of confidence. The career coaches featured by UBC Magazine offer a more useful frame: uncertainty is a condition to work with, not a personal failure. The summer pause becomes a planning space—one conversation, one experiment and one next step at a time. https://alumnidigest.com/stories/a-gentler-way-through-the-first-job-search/index.md 2026-09-27 monthly 0.6 https://alumnidigest.com/stories/five-degrees-five-detours/ 2026-09-27 monthly 0.7 https://alumnidigest.com/assets/ubc/editorial/august-story-45.png Five degrees, five detours The alumni profiles in this reader are a reminder that a degree can keep working after the job title changes. Skills travel, sometimes quietly, into a different field or a role nobody predicted at graduation. That is not a promise that every path will be linear. It is permission to treat the route as evidence of learning, not proof that the original plan was wrong. https://alumnidigest.com/stories/five-degrees-five-detours/index.md 2026-09-27 monthly 0.6 https://alumnidigest.com/stories/finding-a-focus-in-fashion/ 2026-09-27 monthly 0.7 https://alumnidigest.com/assets/ubc/editorial/august-story-46.png Finding a focus in fashion Cassidy Chen’s story is about the discipline behind an expressive field. A self-driven approach can look effortless in a finished image, but focus is built through repetition, collaboration and a willingness to keep editing. For an alumni issue, fashion photography is a useful reminder that creative careers are careers: they have craft, clients, constraints and a public body of work. https://alumnidigest.com/stories/finding-a-focus-in-fashion/index.md 2026-09-27 monthly 0.6 https://alumnidigest.com/stories/a-book-finds-its-public-audience/ 2026-09-27 monthly 0.7 https://alumnidigest.com/assets/ubc/editorial/august-story-47.png A book finds its public audience Loghan Paylor’s The Cure for Drowning moved from a university community into a national conversation about what books can do in public.
