SUMMARY:Introduction to Git and GitHub: Part 2
DESCRIPTION:Learn the basics of using Git and GitHub for version control and collaboration. Git is widely used version control software that tracks changes to a group of files\, referred to as a repository. GitHub is a popular website for hosting and sharing Git repositories\, making it easier to collaborate and share your work. Together\, Git and GitHub provide a platform that is increasingly used for collaboration in research and academic environments. In this beginner workshop participants will learn key concepts\, create their own Git repository\, and publish to GitHub. No previous experience with Git is required. Familiarity with the command line interface will be helpful but is not necessary. This is part 2 of a two-part introductory workshop. \nPre-workshop setup \nPlease complete the pre-workshop setup to install the Bash shell and Git. If you don’t already have one\, create a free GitHub account before the workshop. \nThis workshop is part of the Core Skills series. \nIf you have any questions\, concerns\, or accessibility needs please email digital.scholarship@ubc.ca. \nTo keep up-to-date with all of the workshops\, consults\, and events subscribe to the UBC Library Research Commons monthly newsletter.

SUMMARY:Natalia Lafourcade – The Cancionera Tour
DESCRIPTION:Natalia Lafourcade\, one of the most influential voices in Latin music\, brings her Cancionera Tour to Vancouver’s Chan Centre. \nMaking her Vancouver debut\, she will perform with just her guitar and voice. Born in Mexico City\, she has spent over two decades reimagining Latin American music\, invigorating its heritage with her modern touch. \nDeclared the “21st Century’s Guardian of Cultural Memory” by NPR\, her work weaves Mexican folklore with pop and jazz\, and is held up as a “testament to the creativity and pride that unspools when one taps into tradition.” \nA master of innovation and collaboration\, Natalia Lafourcade has worked with icons across genres including Jon Batiste\, David Byrne\, Gustavo Dudamel\, and Los Ángeles Azules. Whether reinterpreting classics or debuting new works\, she creates transcendent experiences. \nWith 18 Latin Grammys—the most ever awarded to a female artist—four Grammys\, a Rolling Stone Legend Award\, and the title of first-ever Ambassador of Music for Peace at the 19th World Summit of Nobel Peace Prize Laureates\, Lafourcade’s impact is unparalleled. \nDon’t miss your opportunity to see Natalia Lafourcade in Vancouver in this intimate setting.

SUMMARY:UBC Climb for Conservation
DESCRIPTION:Rise Above the Canopy. Protect What Grows Beneath.\nJoin the UBC Climb for Conservation at UBC Botanical Garden on June 20\, 2026.\n\n\n\nClaim Your Spot in the Canopy\n\n\n\n\nMost people who visit UBC Botanical Garden look up at the trees. On June 20\, 2026\, a group will climb into the canopy itself. While raising funds to protect the Amami Maple\, one of the world’s most endangered maple species\, you’ll experience the Garden from a whole new perspective\, 160 feet above the forest floor. \nThis is the UBC Climb for Conservation. It is a mental and physical challenge\, a rare and unforgettable view and a chance to be part of conservation work that has been building here for more than 110 years. The Amami Maple grows on a single steep hillside on a small island in southern Japan. There are only twelve mature trees left in the wild\, and just three produce seeds. A single environmental disaster could wipe out the entire wild population overnight. \nWhether you’re looking for a new challenge\, a deeper connection to nature or a meaningful way to give back\, this climb is for you.

SUMMARY:Natalia Lafourcade – The Cancionera Tour
DESCRIPTION:Natalia Lafourcade\, one of the most influential voices in Latin music\, brings her Cancionera Tour to Vancouver’s Chan Centre. \nMaking her Vancouver debut\, she will perform with just her guitar and voice. Born in Mexico City\, she has spent over two decades reimagining Latin American music\, invigorating its heritage with her modern touch. \nDeclared the “21st Century’s Guardian of Cultural Memory” by NPR\, her work weaves Mexican folklore with pop and jazz\, and is held up as a “testament to the creativity and pride that unspools when one taps into tradition.” \nA master of innovation and collaboration\, Natalia Lafourcade has worked with icons across genres including Jon Batiste\, David Byrne\, Gustavo Dudamel\, and Los Ángeles Azules. Whether reinterpreting classics or debuting new works\, she creates transcendent experiences. \nWith 18 Latin Grammys—the most ever awarded to a female artist—four Grammys\, a Rolling Stone Legend Award\, and the title of first-ever Ambassador of Music for Peace at the 19th World Summit of Nobel Peace Prize Laureates\, Lafourcade’s impact is unparalleled. \nDon’t miss your opportunity to see Natalia Lafourcade in Vancouver in this intimate setting.

SUMMARY:World Refugee Day 2026
DESCRIPTION:Multi-Agency Partnership (MAP) BC and the UBC Centre for Migration Studies (CMS) invite you to World Refugee Day 2026 — Strengthening Borders\, Weakening Rights? — from 12:00 pm to 3:30 pm at 312 Main\, Vancouver.\nWorld Refugee Day honours those who have been forced to flee their home countries to seek safety for themselves and their families elsewhere. At a time when growing global conflicts are displacing millions of people\, many countries are also closing their doors to those seeking protection by toughening legislation and criminalizing migrants. After decades of building a reputation as a country that welcomes refugees\, Canada has also joined this troubling trend. \nWith the passage of Bill C-12\, Strengthening Canada’s Immigration System and Borders Act\, Canada has moved away from its longstanding humanitarian values. The barriers it creates may leave many asylum seekers vulnerable\, without legal status or access to essential services. Are these laws strengthening border controls at the expense of refugees’ rights? What is the human cost of this Bill\, not just for those seeking protection\, but for the communities that seek to welcome them? \n\nProgram\n12:00 – 12:45 PM: Information Fair with Refugee Serving Agencies\n12:45 – 1:00 PM: Land Acknowledgement and Opening remarks by MAP BC and CMS\n1:00 – 2:30 PM: Panel Discussion: Bill C-12 and the Human Cost of Canada’s Border Reform\n2:30 – 2:50 PM: Storytelling\n3:00 – 3:30 PM: Information Fair with Refugee Serving Agencies\n\nAbout the Speakers\nPanel Discussion: Bill C-12 and the Human Cost of Canada’s Border Reform\nModerator\nDr. Lisa Ruth Brunner — Research Associate\, University of British Columbia Centre for Migration Studies \n\n\nSpeakers\nM. Yanni Nicolidakis-Mustafa — Lawyer\, Edelmann and Co \nSaleem Spindari — Regulated Canadian Immigration Consultant and owner of Spindari Immigration Consulting Services \nDr. Evelyn Encalada Grez — Assistant Professor\, Labour Studies\, Sociology and Anthropology\, Simon Fraser University \n\nStorytelling\nShanga Karim — Kurdish–Canadian Writer and Journalist \n\nQuestions? Please contact admin.migration@ubc.ca.

SUMMARY:Powerful searching with Regular Expressions
DESCRIPTION:Regular expressions are a powerful and standardized way of representing patterns in text using special symbols and syntax. A core part of many programming languages\, search engines\, text editors\, and other commonly-used software\, regular expressions have a surprisingly wide array of uses\, from efficiently finding strings of text in large data sets\, to easily formatting complex documents\, to quickly replacing many small everyday tasks that might otherwise require writing shell scripts or other programs. \nThis hands-on workshop introduces regular expressions (regex) from the ground up. After this workshop\, attendees will understand basic regular expression syntax; they will be able to apply regex syntax in common applications; they will understand when it might be appropriate to use regex; and they will be able to analyze their own workflows and adapt regex solutions to support them. \nThis workshop is part of the Core Skills series. \nIf you have questions\, concerns\, or accessibility needs\, please email digital.scholarship@ubc.ca. \nTo keep up-to-date with all our workshops\, consults\, and events\, subscribe to the UBC Library Research Commons monthly newsletter.
