Apply by emailing ubcsociologyassoc@gmail.com with a statement of intent by September 15th, 11:59 PM for an opportunity to be a part of this great team!

Your statement of intent (maximum 200 words) should include:

• Your year of study
• An explanation of why you want to be a part of the SSA!

Once applications have closed, your statements of intent will be displayed on our website for voters to read during the voting period of the election. We look forward to reading all your applications!

We hope everyone is having a pleasant May so far! We here at the SSA have been quite busy this month as we have had to do a little bit of rearranging, but we’re excited to share what we’ve been up to.

Due to circumstances beyond our control, our previously elected Vice President, Marianne Wu, has chosen to pass on her position to fellow SSA executive Anupa (Iman) Ghosh, initially elected as the AUS Representative. Following this, we have had to hold a by-election to determine our new AUS Representative.

As a result, we are very happy to announce that Elizer Erpilla will be taking on the role of AUS Representative for the SSA!

Additionally, we would also like to welcome Vesna Pajović and returning editor Selenna Ho as Co-Editors-In-Chief this year for Sojourners, UBC’s very own academic undergraduate journal for Sociology.

Big congrats to the entire SSA and Sojourners team:

Hello everyone, we’ve got some updates for you! A big thanks goes out to all who voted in our elections this year, and to all those who attended our annual year-end BBQ event. We had a great turn out and a great time celebrating the last day of classes, and we also got to officially introduce the new SSA Executive team for 2015/2016. Without further ado, here are the results:

The SSA elections for 2015/2016 are here! We’ve got a great line of candidates running this year, so check out our elections page to learn more about them, the elections, and (if you are a UBC Sociology major or minor) to GET YOUR VOTE ON.
