HI It’s Prof. Henry here. I apologize if this is a duplicate. I lost my list of which Black organizations I’ve contacted. Would you be so kinds as to help me distribute a black (anonymous )undergraduate survey
asking questions about your experiences as students, and particularly at UBC? Ideally, I want to distribute it today and give students a couple of weeks to fill it in. Its a 30 minute survey (max) and there are prizes for completing.
