UBC’s Alternative Orientation Booklet: Resisting the University 2019/2020 (Downloadable PDF)
At the Social Justice Centre and the Women’s Centre, we are reviving old traditions with this year’s new alternative orientation booklet. We envision this booklet as an opportunity to situate students, introduce them to powerful groups, both on campus and off, and speak to the myriad ways that resistance and resurgence is taking place in and around us.

We wish that this booklet sparks hope and empowers our communities.
