Bagels with Ben

Does ANYONE like being in an environment that’s stuffy and overly academic? Probably not, and that’s one reason why people often get too intimidated to go to office hours. Every week, I’m going to be at the old Niche Café by the Beaty Museum. I will bring Bagels, you bring whatever you want, and we’re just going to chat the time away. Everyone is welcome, but a group of 15 or so will be specifically invited each week! You can go to as many or as few as you want! These are not mandatory, and group assignments are merely “suggested assignments”. All groups are posted on Canvas. The dates are:

Guess who's back, back again! @UBCPsych students here for another #bagelswithben. In this session, we learned that Jackson Lundy is an amazing singer and y'all should check him out. pic.twitter.com/rByYueocdX
