For most students, Imagine UBC replaces the first day of classes. If you’re a first year student, you will have the chance to meet great people on campus, including your Dean, some of your future professors, and other students. It will be an opportunity to learn about your new academic environment and the specific expectations of your faculty. You’ll also tour campus in a small group led by student leaders.
All students are invited to participate in the day’s activities. For those students returning to UBC, by attending exciting events, you’ll reconnect with the community, show your school spirit, and find opportunities to get involved.
