We’re a founding member of Canadian University Press (CUP), an organization which links student papers across the country and organizes the annual national student journalism conference, NASH. We left CUP in 2013 and joined the National University Wire (NUW), which we helped create with other Canadian student newspapers to share information and news. Now, after recently rejoining CUP, we're connected with student papers across the country, so expect to see a few national collabs, every now and then!

Joining The Ubyssey is a wonderful way to get involved on campus. The newsroom always knows what’s happening at UBC, sometimes before it happens. It is also a place to meet interesting and motivated people; many long-term friendships have started in the newsroom. Stop by room 2208 inPrime Minister John “Chick” Turner was an associate sports editor. Following World War II, some of the finest journalists to grace our country began their careers here, including Allan Fotheringham, Peter Worthington and Michael Valpy.

Today, you can see our alumni in newspapers across the country. Vaughn Palmer and Katherine Monk of the Vancouver Sun got their start here, as did sports pundit Tony Gallagher of The Province. Among our more recent alumni are Bruce Arthur of The National Post and The Toronto Star, Jon Woodward of CTV News and Justin McElroy and Sarah Galashan of the CBC.

Who knows? You could be next…
