Please upload a high-quality photo or two of yourself (minimum 600 pixels wide). We love photos that are expressive of your personality or tell a story. Photos of you in-action at work, engaged in an activity or even in your neighborhood are excellent. We also love photos from your time as a student at UBC. Think more "Facebook profile photo" and less "passport photo".
