"Join this, join that! Run for this, run for that!" And maybe all you really want to do is run for your life.

With the overwhelming amount of opportunities & experiences available in undergrad, how do you choose those that will enrich you the most in achieving your career dreams?

In this episode, Grace & Yadu as they explore how students can gain clarity about their careers through student involvement.

For many students, higher education entails moving away from home, finding a place to stay, and paying rent. 

But how does one turn a "house" into a "home?" And how much should one pay for it? 

Join Grace & Yadu as they explore the ins and outs of finding a home in the Vancouver market for the incoming or continuing UBC student. 

Who are you? What are you about? And what are you going to do with your life?!

Daunting questions, no doubt, but undeniably important ones that press on our minds both as students and graduates. Join Yadu & Grace as they chat with Career Professional Beth Helsey and UBC Alumni Dhruv Baznath about managing post-grad uncertainties and journeying towards a soul-satisfying career!
