Happy Friday everyone!
It was just snowing last weekend and it is sunny now! Yoo hoo!
Even better, we have a social event happening tonight!
[CHBE Monthly Social] Get together this Friday?
The CHBE is re-initiating the first (or last) Friday of the Month social by heading over to the Gallery at the SUB. Here is a great opportunity to mingle with random people from CHBE and beyond. Undergrads, Grads, staff, faculty, researchers, emeritus profs, etc. all welcome. Friday, Feb 28 starting around 5 pm.
After all the fun, would you consider doing some volunteering for the Grad Club?
Grad Club is requesting your help
CHBE Grad Club is looking for a few volunteers, in addition to current ones, for supplying water to the hot/cold water dispenser at the 6th floor grad lounge.
The 5 water jars need to be filled once a week, and it takes less than 30 minutes for me to do this job. So if there are a few more volunteers, then each volunteer would be expected to contribute 30 minutes per month.
Please consider joining us in keeping the water dispenser in operation! Please email our grad club president, Hafiz at mhrahman@chbe.ubc.ca if you wanna earn some good karma.
Then, some news from GSS about St. Patrick’s Day Social Event
