Hello everyone,
Happy Friday! The weather has been hot! But it looks like it is going to rain today!

There is a new fridge in the grad lunch room! Please move your food items from the old fridge to the new fridge as soon as possible.

The chbe grad club is still looking for candidate nomination for the next president! Please email Hafiz at mhrahman@chbe.ubc.ca to nominate yourself.

The GSS is organzing a hike to Mt. Seymour.  Savor panoramic views of the city and the Coastal Mountain Range on this intermediate hike, about 9 kilometers long, up an elevation of 450 meters. The less experienced hikers among you may take in the scenery while catching your breath. See HERE for more detail.

Have a great weekend!

Dear 5th and 6th floor lab users in CHBE,

May’s compliance rate was 60%. The target is 100%, i.e. every single person working in their labs wears their PPE!

 It was the time to announce the winners of May’s PPE Compliance Survey.

Ivan, our safety officer will conduct monthly PPE check and those who had the highest PPE compliance level, will be put into a draw for a starbuck giftcard!
*The highest PPE compliance level simply means you have lab coat, safety glasses, waterproof footwear and appropriate gloves.

May’s winners are

Daniel Kalinowski
James Campbell

Everyone has equal chance to win the draw if you put on your PPE.
