In response to the evolving situation around Coronavirus (COVID-19), UBC Connects programming has gone virtual. We are continuing to work with a lineup of engaging speakers, and will be announcing our Fall 2021 season shortly.
Now, more than ever, we need public events to connect us and ignite important conversations about our world today.
