Happy October!
We hope everyone has started to settle (back) in to academic life at UBC. As the weather starts to feel more like fall, hopefully you can find a cozy study corner and fuel up on pumpkin and cinnamon treats! The GAA team are hoping to host a few different events this month to try and raise everyone’s spirits as the nights get darker.
