Let’s Talk with BK Chan
Tuesday, September 7, 3:00 PM – 4:00 PM
In this 60-minute live talk, BK will explore how Consent Culture is a social way of being – it’s about how we relate to each other, not just sexual interactions, or intimate touch. What do you need to know and do? What kind of support can you get? This talk will show you -- openly, honestly, and with a sense of humour.
Coffee with Profs
Wednesday, September 8, 10:30 AM -12:30 PM
Don’t know what office hours are? Wondering what’s the best way to approach your profs? During this event, you will informally meet with University College professors who can help you answer questions and share advice about starting University. This event is also a chance to build connections with some of our friendly and resourceful faculty members at UC.
