This Is Very Peculiar.: Shinerama is one of those things you hear about all the time but don’t actually know what it is. There are currently no events listed on their website, but stay tuned. A while ago we tweeted about how if your team wins their little contest Shinerama, not only do you get a TROPHY but you [.....
SCIENCE: We Want to See Your Peacock.: With summer wrapping up, we’ve been playing the new Katy Perry album on repeat, trying to bask in the glory of our teenage dreams just a little bit longer. Besides lacking any cohesion to call it an “album,” the tracks are full of poptastic hits that will be fueling the Pit on W...

New SUB Project Design Charrette – September 14th & 16th: The New SUB project seems to be coming along quite nicely.

The design and sustainability charrettes are scheduled to happen on the 14th and 16th of September respecti...
President’s Town Hall September 20: Mark Your Calendars: President’s Town Hall September 20: Mark Your Calendars An email blast went out over the weekend announcing this year’s President’s Town Hall (details below). This is the event that replaced the AGM. I really like this event, and not just because of the hors d’ouevres. Whi...
Best Buy University: Ever since Pierre Ouillet was hired on as Vice President Finance, Resources and Operations, we've been noticing a trend with UBC's relatively recent hires (well, most have been here for about a year now. We're behind, ok.) (Dave King photo, modified by Alex. CC by-nc-sa 2.0) |

AUS Ramblings: Unfortunately midterms prevailed last week and I never had time to write more about the latest AUS dramz…and honestly by this point I am pretty much over it. The one thing I will point out that AUS Council should learn from its last meeting is to enforce an actually legitimate proxy consen...
AUS (never-ending) Drama.: If you haven’t heard, today AUS Council voted Ryan Trasolini as its interim president (until a president will be elected in the fall by-elections). This decision left most councillors, hacks and anyone who heard with the following reaction: Post to follow with thoughts by myself (and perhap...
the rising scourge of kritarchy: They’re at it again! The Student ‘Court’ has done the same thing that it did in ‘Crompton v. AMS Elections Committee‘ two years ago. The ruling is a massive power grab, one that undermines the policy setting prerogatives of elected student leaders. They have already ...

UBC Students G20 Coverage Round-up: While the G20 came to a close today, the backlash to the event is just beginning. Interested in what UBC students are saying about the protests? Wondering what your classmates in Toronto are saying about this moment in Canada’s political history? We’ve provided a summary of blogs...
Welcome to UBC, Dean Averill!: As Dr. Nancy Gallini’s term as Dean of Arts comes to an end this summer, the Faculty of Arts has been on the search for a suitable replacement. Remember those meet the potential Dean sessions that you probably didn’t attend? There were 3 potential candidates and as of today her succes...

Biology Program to Evolve in 2011W: On May 12th, the Senate of UBC Vancouver will be voting to pass changes to the Biology program. These changes will entirely abolish senior specializations (e.g. Animal Biology, Cell Biology and Genetics, Plant Biology, etc.) as well as modify existing first and second year requirements. Changes ...

Sauder: The Year in Review: I thought I’d take the opportunity to recap the 2009/10 year before the summer. I’m sure I missed quite a few events, so let me know if you think something else should be included! September 2009 - School year starts. Largest class of first year students ever (558 students) enters the...

Loss of website: So you may have noticed almost everything I wrote in January is gone from the site. I accidentally deleted my blog a few weeks ago and my hoster wasn’t able to bring back anything after Jan 7th. Live and learn I guess… | So you may have noticed almost everything I wrote in January is...

Introducing the UBC Alumni Media Network: After their 2010 UBC convocation, a number of critical alumni came together and decided to found the UBC Alumni Media Network as a critical resource for scholars worldwide. They contacted us with the following short disclaimer: “We are committed to providing you with a critical perspective ...

Ignatieff talks at UBC – but will he Say anything?: UBC is being visited today by the Liberal party road tour, Michael Ignatieff will be talking about his and our dreams for Canada’s 150th birthday in 2017.  I’m planning on going, hopeful there is room for questions from the audience. If so I’m going to ask him this: Will yo...
