ICYMI Emails Are Getting a New Look Starting in June

We’re updating the way we send our ICYMI (In Case You Missed It) emails.

Beginning in June, your weekly ICYMI email — which recaps all the posts from the MyUBCDAP News & Announcements page — will come in a new, newsletter-style format. The new version will feature a cleaner, easier-to-read layout that’s also mobile-friendly. ICYMI emails will continue to arrive in your inbox every Friday, just with a refreshed look. You don’t need to take any action.

In addition to the weekly ICYMI emails, we encourage you to regularly visit the News & Announcements page throughout the week for the most up-to-date information. This way, you can stay connected and informed about everything happening in the DAP community in real time.

We hope this new format makes it easier and more enjoyable to keep up with important news and events. If you have any questions about the new ICYMI emails, please feel free to reach out to us.

A Friendly Reminder: Flyer Placement at UBC Sauder School of Business

Additionally, we’d like to remind everyone that fliers should:

  • Be non-political and in English.
  • Be related to services or events not affiliated with Sauder, unless they have been officially approved by the faculty.

We truly appreciate your cooperation in helping us maintain a professional and respectful environment for all. Thank you for your understanding and for making Sauder a great place to study!
