Destination UBC: One month to go

April 13, 2015

Destination UBC 2015

With just under one month until Destination UBC kicks off at UBC Okanagan, organizers are busy preparing to welcome more than 500 students on May 8.

Destination UBC will feature an opening ceremony in the gymnasium as well as a welcome and introduction to their faculty and facilities. The day will also include elective sessions and social events designed to show off the Okanagan campus.

Destination UBC is also an opportunity for faculty and staff members to get involved in the activities and help share what they love about UBC.

A number of UBC Okanagan students have already been hired as chaperones and volunteers to contribute to planning, supervising, shuttling people around campus, and running programming over the weekend. Now organizers are looking for staff volunteers to help out on Saturday, May 9.

If you are interested in being involved, email halyna.petryshyn@ubc.ca.
