In an effort to foster stronger social connections and a sense of community amongst students who identify as Black, Indigenous, and Persons of Colour, and students who identify as Queer + Trans, we are hosting two movie and dinner nights featuring a short documentary and Q&A with the movie-maker. These events support UBC\u2019s overall efforts to advance inclusion and create a more welcoming campus. Please help us raise awareness of these two events and engage students by sharing with your student communities. Any help would be appreciated as we are running a bit behind with promotions.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
