Welcome ESSA!
Hello everyone! We hope you have enjoyed your new classes so far and made some new friends. ESSA would like to give you a warm welcome (or welcome back) to UBC and to the club. We are very stocked for this year, and we are already in the midst of planning for some of our events.
Follow us on our socials and stay tuned to our website to see what’s coming up!
Vote for Your 2nd-Year Representative!
Please vote before Sunday, October 9th 11:59pm PT.
Excited to graduate? Want to hang out and get to know your fellow grad clas before you graduate? ESSA is planning an event just for you. Stay tuned for more details.
PSA: Vote for your Municipal Leaders
Most municipalities in British Columbia will be hosting general elections on Saturday, October 15. Voting for your Mayor and City councillors is your opportunity to shape the future you want and show your care for your community. It is also a way to make a difference in climate action, as the elected leaders will make important decisions on the city's climate policies. We at ESSA encourage you to go vote if you are eligible to.
You can check your eligibility here
If you are voting in the City of Vancouver, check out the voters' guide here
Movie Night
Join us for a film screening and a facilitated discussion about the moive, outdoor sports, and social and environmental justice. We will be screening "Deep Roots" on Thursday, October 13 at 6 pm at the ESSA club room (EOSM 208J). The movie will be around 45 mins long. Snacks and dinner will be provided.
Need tips on how to get through your ENSC degree? Want to know more about the special programs that ENSC has to offer? Come join us for Degree Hacks on Thursday, October 20 at 7 pm at the EOAS Lounge (EOSM 208), where we will walk you through your ENSC degree, give you some tips and tricks on choosing your courses, and introduce you to the wide variety of programs that UBC has offered to excel at your degree.
A big thank you to those who came out on September 16 for our Shoreline cleanup and social event. The event was a great success: we collected some trash and got to know many of you. We hope you have also made some friends at the event. If you missed the event, don't worry, there will be more events to come :)
