UBC Psychology welcomes new and returning students to explore everything we to offer at our Imagine UBC events!
Start the day off at our welcome orientation and learn about your academic environment and what you have to look forward to as you pursue your degree. Meet students and faculty with similar interests at the student and faculty social and take either a self-guided or group tour of the Kenny building during our Lab Open House. Self-guided tours allow you to explore fascinating research you can get involved in and group tours help you learn how to navigate the Kenny building. Want to do both? We’ve got you covered. There is enough time to wander around before or after a group tour.
Finish up the day by attending our panel and workshops to discover how to get involved and make your experience with UBC Psychology a successful one.
Please RSVP to let us know what events you’re attending so that we can be prepared!
Plus, collect new UBC Psychology swag by attending our different events and enjoy free food and refreshments! 🙂
