UBC-TO Newsletter
Issue 5: May – Jun 2011
Great Events in May!
What a busy month ahead for UBC Toronto! We start off next week with the complimentary “The Next Step” event for alumni who are interested in building the financial foundation, followed by our fifth annual Great Trekker Luncheon with our special guests Dr. David Dodge, LLD’07 and Dr. Wendy Dobson. For those who have not RSVP’d, this is the last chance.

By now, we hope most of you have seen the sensational UBC LipDub video created by the UBC student team featuring more than 1,000 students. The video has received more than a million views on YouTube and a lot of media coverage. Enjoy it and cherish your UBC memories.

Special thanks to our newsletter lead, Sami Dong, and our editors, Kristen Miller, Viet Ha Pham, and Caroline Chuang.

It is located just outside the hustle and bustle of Dundas square on Elm Street. First arriving at the pub, you are met by a quaint brick building with a small street level patio. Read more
