And they are expected to target issues and engage in research that would not otherwise be possible. More

Recap: KIN Young Alumni Drinks Night

Thank you to everyone who came out to meet us on March 14 at Mahony & Sons, Burrard Landing! We had a great turn out, and met with a diverse set of young alumni whose professions range from nurses to physiotherapists to elite athletes. It was wonderful chatting with all of you, and we hope you feel the same way! We'd also like to extend a thank you to Alumni UBC Career Education manager Nicole Yeasting for speaking on alumni career programs and resources!

If you couldn't make it, we'd love to meet you soon. Stay tuned for more events in the future! 

KIN extends a special thank you to our donors for making our night out possible!
