alumni UBC is calling on UBC graduates, students, faculty, staff, volunteers, and donors who are involved in a socially beneficial project to upload their stories on www.yourevolution.ubc.ca until March 1, 2015. Ten projects will be shortlisted by March 9 and the public will be asked to vote for their favourite project.
The winner will receive a “social entrepreneur support kit” that includes:
- Professional photography session or the production of a video to help its cause
- Mentoring session with UBC President Arvind Gupta
- Access to a consultation with a UBC faculty member in an area most relevant to the project’s needs (e.g. business, law, engineering, computer science).
