On the @mynewSUB account, the tweets provide students with the latest news on the construction of the new SUB on the UBC campus. Although incredibly inactive, the account is a good idea as it lets students know what is going on with all the noise, steel smells and blocked streets we have to handle every day. But unfortunately it is not as popular as it could be. The AMS has started a project which calls on every UBC student to participate in the naming of the new SUB. This campaign started in September and everyone is welcome to either write on the ‘Design Cube’ wall or add #namemysub to their tweets or Facebook post.
The Ubyssey is right, students are the largest donors of the new SUB and it is only fair for all of us paying the extra fee in our tuition to participate in the naming of the building. It is a great way for students to feel more apart of the construction and hopefully feel more involved at UBC. Through the use of this campaign on Twitter, Facebook and on the glass walls of the cube, students leave their opinions and share a few thoughts on what could be the next name for the SUB. It is a great opportunity not only to find an awesome name for the new SUB but also for UBC and the AMS to engage and hear what students want.
