A Few Reminders

Hi all,

Only 4 DAYS until Opening Week begins! A few reminders:

• Give yourself extra time to get to campus for Monday morning as there is construction on University Boulevard heading west. All buses affected by construction will be rerouted so you will be able to make it to campus, but it is wise to give yourself some extra time.
• As you can see from the Opening Week Schedule, you will have your professional headshots taken on Wednesday. Here are a few tips from the photographer:
  • When deciding what to wear, think about who will be looking at your image. The image will represent who you are and your first impression.
  • Solid colours tend to photograph better than big bold patterns.
  • Try to stay away from heavy contrasts such as a black suit and white shirt.
  • Long sleeves tend to photograph better than short sleeves.
  • If you wear make-up, make sure it is natural.
• You will have your first Math Review session during the Thursday of Opening Week. We will be holding a follow-up Math Review session on the first day of classes, Sept. 5th from 11am-1pm in David Lam 125. We will then provide you with a pizza lunch before the start of your first class, BABS 506 – Analyzing and Modeling Uncertainty at 2pm.
• Remember to take the time to review your Period 1 course outlines before the start of classes so you know what to expect and can complete any necessary pre-readings. An online copy of Introduction to Operations Research used in BAMS 506 can be found here.

We can’t wait to have you here on campus and if you have any questions before then, don’t hesitate to reach out to us at askmban@sauder.ubc.ca.

Best wishes,

Elisabeth Chin
