Volunteer Opportunity: Help Us Showcase SON!

We are excited to announce a special volunteer opportunity for School of Nursing students. We are organizing a photoshoot to capture storytelling for our school’s promotional materials, and we would love for you to be a part of it.

The photoshoot will take place on March 5 between 8:30-4:30 at Koerner Pavillion (SON).
Interested? See below for additional details and please email Heather.Swallow@ubc.ca by February 29 to confirm your interest and availability for March 5 between 8:30 am – 4:30 pm.
 
COMMITMENT
We ask that you commit a minimum of ~2 hours of your time on March 5. While the actual photography is likely only around an hour, the team recommends you block 2 hours of your day so you can be available for briefing and to account for any potential delays.
 
PHOTO CONTENT AND PURPOSE
These images will be incorporated into our public-facing photo library and shared with APSC and UBC for promotional materials, website images, news stories, announcements and so on. In addition, sometimes magazines reach out, for example, McLean’s for their university issue. A consent form will be shared for you to review and sign.
 
SCENARIOS
We will be taking photos in the lab, hospital setting, and a classroom. These photos are people- and action-focused. These are all completely staged with faculty and student volunteers. You will be directed through each scene. Examples: Studying at a laptop with friends, performing an injection on a patient, participating in a lecture.
 
WARDROBE
Depending on the scenes you are assigned, you may be in scrubs or in your regular, professional/casual street-clothes. Information will be shared with you in advance, including tips on what to wear and what to avoid. Please note that you may bring any additional props or accessories that you feel would enhance your outfit or contribute to the overall theme of the shoot (such as laptop, textbooks, backpack, etc.)
 
THANK YOU IN ADVANCE!
We understand that your time is valuable especially at exam time, and we truly appreciate your willingness to volunteer for this photoshoot. Your participation will not only help us create beautiful promotional materials but also showcase the vibrant and diverse community we have at UBC School of Nursing
Thank you for your support, and we look forward to seeing you at the photoshoot!
