We hope you had a fantastic break, and that your final term of Vantage One is off to a good start! This term you can look forward to our visit to the UBC Okanagan campus for the end-of-term academic conference. On July 22nd we will celebrate your transition from Vantage One to the second year of your UBC degree with a pinning ceremony and reception.
This month, we are encouraging you to get involved at UBC, and with the Vancouver community at large! Volunteer opportunities are available with UBC Farm and the Learning Exchange.
