On the first day of classes, campus is transformed and the entire UBC community comes together to welcome new students to their new academic community and celebrate the start of the school year.
In addition to Imagine Day, UBC Sociology is having our Annual Academic Launch, a day full of reunions, Departmental activities, and a talk from our first guest speaker from our Distinguished Speaker Series.
