KIRK’S POST
In another installment of our acclaimed "staff answers a single question" series this week, Kirk is curious about why we like this place:
What do you love most about ubc?
Jeff: I love how welcoming it is and how the people support ubc (that includes the staff).
Toph: the people
Kirk: the openness to change, the ability to adapt, the amount of grace at UBC for each other.

Taylor: the kids
