Dear Graduate Students,
We would like to welcome all students to get to know your Graduate Student Society, what and why we do what we do!
We also have a whole bunch of classes starting up and upcoming socials you should check out. Feel free to also tell us a little bit about your housing situation so we can better facilitate advocacy in relation to housing here at UBC.

“I believe in pink. I believe that laughing is the best calorie burner. I believe in kissing, kissing a lot. I believe in being strong when everything seems to be going wrong. I believe that happy girls are the prettiest girls. I believe that tomorrow is another day and I believe in miracles.”- Audrey Hepburn
