SISU UBC

2021-2022 Event Recap 🤍✨

With our last event of the term yesterday, we thought a walk down memory lane would be a good SISU send off 🦋

Thank you all for making our SISU 2021-2022 school year so special! From hiking and kayaking to yoga and dance classes to book club and trivia nights, we have had such a fun and meaningful year embracing movement and celebrating bravery, confidence, and resilience. Here's a look back at some of our favourite memories from this school year.

Welcome to our new Exec team! Congrats to all our new leaders. We’re so excited for what next year has to bring 🤍

SISU SPRING SWIM

Bringing back the beach socials…but this time we swim for real!

When: This Friday, April 1st (no, this is not a prank!) @ 5pm
Where: Jericho Beach by the concession stand

We started off the term with our beloved beach hangs so we thought it would be fitting to close out the term with a swim!

Bring some snacks, a bathing suit, towels, and something warm to change into!

See you there! 🌊🧺

S*x Ed. Trivia

This Friday, March 25 via zoom!

Alongside the wellness peers, test your knowledge about topics related to s*xual health and s*xuality and increase your s*xual health literacy. Topics range from s*x education, pop culture, pleasure and much more. We want to work toward breaking down barriers to navigate conversation around s*xual health.
