Graduate Student Society - UBC Vancouver

Are you curious about what life after grad school looks like? 🎓

Join us for an evening with inspiring UBC alumni and industry professionals working across technology, higher education, nonprofit organizations, and knowledge sharing. Hear how they've transformed their skills and experiences into meaningful careers, gain practical advice, ask your questions, and make valuable connections.

Whether you're just starting to explore your options or actively planning your next steps, this is a conversation you won't want to miss.

Our ‘Stress Less, Paint More’ event was such a joy! Thanks to everyone who came. We’re always blown away by the creativity and spirit of grad students 😊🤩

🚨 Correction: Our previous post listed the wrong date for Games Night.

Games Night will take place on Thursday, August 6 (not August 7).

We apologize for the confusion and any inconvenience caused. We hope you'll join us for an evening of games, fun, and community — we can't wait to see you there! 🎲✨

Bring the whole family to our LEGO Family Fun event! 🧱✨

Join fellow graduate student families for an afternoon of creativity, play, and connection. Build LEGO creations together, meet new friends, and enjoy light snacks and refreshments in a fun, family-friendly atmosphere.

We can't wait to see you there!
