We were in touch recently when you kindly shared some information about the HIBAR Research Buddies Community with graduate students in your department. I’m wondering if you might be willing to also share this invitation to participate in our HIBAR-B Community Launch Event on March 6, from 4-6pm.

This in-person event is open to all current UBC graduate students, and it will be held at the same time on both UBC campuses — Okanagan and Vancouver.

The event is free, but advanced registration is required:  Vancouver event registration and Okanagan event registration.

HIBAR Research Buddies Launch Event March 6, 2024

Further details are included in the attached flyer.

The HIBAR Research Buddies are fostering a community of early career researchers, focusing on graduate students, who care deeply about engaging directly with experts outside academia through their research. You can watch our introductory video here.

Kind regards,
