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:

Feel free to look up photos from other #bagelswithben sessions using that hashtag! Here are a few others:

It's the end of the term, and I'm reflecting on how #bagelswithben???? has evolved into big gatherings where ppl also try to participate by bringing their own snacks, often reflecting the students' own cultural identities/upbringing. Thanks for a great term, @UBCPsych students! pic.twitter.com/JxrAkdUk0s

At last week's #bagelswithben????, we talked about cool snacks and drinks from Asia, and wondering about why one of the students there would insist on wearing shorts even when its snowing or raining. I will never understand some people. pic.twitter.com/p1aeRrf3I2

Last week's #bagelswithben???? saw us talk about racialization and equity on campus, and the amazing sport of chessboxing (yes it's a real sport. Yeah, I know.) pic.twitter.com/zKNmaObHoi
