With the holiday season fast approaching, we are delighted to announce that applications for the GSS Holiday Hampers are now open! This initiative provides essential support to UBC Vancouver graduate students facing financial challenges, helping make the holiday season a bit brighter for them and their families.

As in previous years, each hamper is carefully assembled to address the unique needs of each student. We kindly ask that you share this opportunity with your graduate students to ensure those who may benefit are aware. Applications will be open until November 18th, and selected applicants will be notified in early December. The sign-up form is available here.

In addition to sharing this announcement, we would be grateful for any contributions toward the hampers. Donations of holiday-themed items are welcome at the GSS Office (452-6371 Crescent Rd, Thea Koerner House 4th Floor Penthouse, Vancouver, BC V6T 1Z2) until November 27th, 2024. Items such as gingerbread kits, good-quality chocolates, holiday treats, family games, toiletries, and more are greatly appreciated, especially items suitable for student families.

For questions, please feel free to contact us at officeassistant@gss.ubc.ca. Thank you for helping us make this initiative a success and for supporting graduate students at UBC during this special season.

Warm regards,
