Annual General Meeting Poster

Exciting news!

CiTR is holding our Annual General Meeting and Volunteer Appreciation Evening on Monday, March 31st at The Tangent Cafe (2095 Commercial Drive)

The AGM is set to start at 6:30pm and there will be FREE appetizers available at that time.
The event is ALL AGES so all members are able to attend!
Since it is CiTR’s annual general meeting, there will be conversation about very important information pertaining to the station — it is really ESSENTIAL that members attend.

Once the AGM is completed there will be a volunteer appreciation portion where staff and other leaders at the station acknowledge and give prizes to volunteers who have made exceptional contributions to their departments over the course of the year — aka PARTY!

Food from the Tangent’s menu and drinks (alcoholic and non-alcoholic) will be available to order throughout the evening — we will be staying there all night!

Hope to see all CiTR Members there!

The BikeRave is back! On Friday March 21, come join in what will be UBC BikeRave’s the second annual party on wheels. Participants are encouraged to come decked out in their craziest outfit, to bring their flashiest lights, and bedazzle their bike with glow sticks.

The Bike Rave will take place around UBC’s campus for two hours, and will include some rad tunes to jam out to while biking as well as during pit-stops at iconic spots to rave.

The event starts at Koerner’s plaza at 7:00pm. You must sign waivers (safety comes first) before joining the party. Look for t-shirts, glowsticks, prizes, and refreshments. At 7:30pm, we will unleash the kraken and begin biking. Get pumped!

Don’t have a bike? Bring your roller blades, wheelies, scooters, rollerskis, unicycles, and boards. Get creative!

The UBC 3MT Finals are this Thursday!

The Three Minute Thesis (3MT) is an academic competition that assists current graduate students with fostering effective presentation and communication skills. Participants have just three minutes to explain the breadth and significance of their research project to a non-specialist audience. In 2012, over 30 universities across Australia, New Zealand, Hong Kong and the South Pacific participated in this fun, highly informative and very entertaining event. UBC is one of the first Universities in North America to host a 3MT competition.

The finals are happening from 4:30pm – 6pm at the Graduate Student Centre Ballroom. Everyone is welcome to attend and cheer on the finalists!

For more information, visit the UBC Graduate and Post-Doctoral Studies website.
