Black History Month provides an opportunity to celebrate Black history and excellence; and the many contributions of Black Canadians, Black British Columbians, and Black students, faculty and staff at UBC.

The Graduate Student Society, with the support of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies, is organizing a student-led panel discussion on Black Experiences in Graduate Education. The panel will consist of four current and former Black graduate students and a moderator, and will tackle questions around the successes and challenges of their journey.
