Our Beliefs in Action
Graham Lee Innovation Centre
The Graham Lee Innovation Centre is home to Entrepreneurship@UBC, located in the new Robert H. Lee Alumni Centre at UBC, and was generously provided by the support of UBC alumnus and entrepreneur, Graham Lee, BCom 1987.
UBC alumnus and entrepreneur, Graham Lee, BCom 1987, chose to support the Innovation Centre because of his belief in entrepreneurship and innovation as the economic backbone of a community. New ways of looking at traditional businesses and successfully developing new disruptive industries will lay the foundation for our province, benefiting all students and alumni well into the future. Many great innovators, discoveries and ideas have come from UBC, and the Innovation Centre will continue to foster the university’s innovation strategy and support for new venture creation.
