Prospectors and developers association of Canada is organizing a colloquium! Check out the details in the attached file.Call For Abstracts & Posters_2015 Final 3

Hey hey all you artistic folk out there!

UBC Sharing Science (a student club dedicated to promoting interdisciplinary engagement in the sciences) is curating an ART EXHIBITION on February 2-13, 2015 in the SUB art gallery and are looking for art submissions from YOU!

The exhibition, entitled Absolute Space, invites creators from all disciplines to share their visions of the future of space. Of particular interest is the question of how the movement toward an “internet of things” may affect conceptions of space at both societal and individual levels. In an increasingly interconnected world, where our electronics can learn our behaviour and adapt to our needs, are we to understand ourselves as an extension of our spaces, or our spaces as an extension of ourselves?

ESSA is looking for year reps and a VP Recreation! Nominations will be open from Sept. 15 (12 am) – Sept. 21 (11:59pm). Email essa.ubc@gmail.com with subject line “ESSA Nominations 2014” and include a <100 word blurb about yourself! Year reps are responsible for connecting students in their year with ESSA.

We are also looking for people to join our sustainability committee, which will focus on campus sustainability activities! Hope to have you on our team! ESSA Execs
