Events

Graduate students will take centre stage—their challenge? To captivate you and the panel of judges while explaining their master’s or doctoral research in just three minutes.

Join our host Victoria Femia from Global Okanagan, come cheer on the faculty heat champions, and learn about the research happening at UBC Okanagan! Leading off the event will be guest speaker, Dr. Jelena Komanchuk, winner of the Michael Smith Health Research BC and UBC Okanagan Postdoctoral Fellowships, with her talk, “Sleep health inequities for children in foster and kinship care.”

We will then hear from eleven graduate students who are researching everything from solar cells to sustainable water to preventing falls. Don’t miss the chance to vote for your favourite presentation!

Following the presentations, join us for a reception where you can network with students, faculty, and community members.

This workshop allows people to come together with ideas, works in progress or a general interest in comic creation to share feedback and constructive cricism. Bring your physical or digital materials and share your comic book, webcomic, graphic novel, manga or other visual storytelling medium. You can join the discussion in-person every 2nd and 4th Saturday or online in the Discord server (link on our calendar): https://orl.libcal.com/event/3886889

All ages welcome.

Get ready to turn up the heat at Sweat Studios! We’re bringing the ultimate Buti Yoga Glow experience, combined with a fiery Buti Barre Fusion to keep you moving, sweating, and glowing all night long. With live beats by DJ Abstract, we’ll flow through a high-energy mix of Buti Yoga, barre-inspired toning, and plyometric moves, all under black lights to keep the energy high and the vibes lit. We’ll start with the Buti Yoga Glow to unleash your inner goddess, then flow seamlessly into Buti Barre Fusion, where you’ll sculpt, tone, and strengthen with precision and grace.
