We love a full house!

Thanks to everyone who joined our town hall for an important conversation about the issues affecting graduate students at UBC.

We heard directly from graduate students about funding, affordability, housing, tuition increases, and mental health, and discussed how UBC and the GSS can better support graduate students. We also gathered valuable feedback on the GSS Mentorship Program.

Your perspectives will help shape our advocacy.

A summary report will be coming soon.
