Join us in celebrating many years of UBC student-led activism on social justice, environmental concerns, women’s issues, sexual and gender diversity, and inclusion for individuals with disabilities.

Come explore the Social Justice Centre, Student Environment Centre, Women’s Centre, Pride Collective, and Pathfinders and find out how UBC students can get involved.
