The Art Series is meant to be a forum for UBC students, and in particular for graduate students, to present their creative work to an interested audience of fellow students, members of the university, and the Vancouver community. Perfomances could include music from classic to jazz to world music, plays, dancing, standup comedy, cabaret, or magic acts, for which the GSS would provide rehearsal space and technical equipment as far as available. Volunteers Needed Graduate Peer Support is looking for new volunteers to participate as peer counsellors. This is an excellent opportunity to help other graduate students and to improve communication skills. No previous experience is necessary.
All training is provided and the hours are flexible.
By Himalayan standards it is not the highest peak, rising just under 20,000 ft, but where it lacks in height it makes up in beauty. Surrounded by incredible glaciers, the peak is a white stone needle and off the north east side runs a couloir, over 7000-10,000 feet to the glacial valley floor. A 15-member team from the Haryana Agricultural University, India undertook this expedition along with three high altitude guides. The presentation will unwind the fascinating experience of Himalayan adventure, struggle, bad weather and the human spirit. Only two members and one high altitude guide could reach the summit.
