I wish I could give you a truly insightful musical run-down of the performances, but I was mostly just focused on staying warm.

In 1949, Harry and Audrey Hawthorn stood in the basement of the Main Library to inaugurate UBC’s new Museum of Anthropology (MOA). On September 14, MOA opened its doors for free to all patrons for its 70th anniversary open house event.

Over the course of the last year, stakeholders from across the university have navigated dense internal and external bureaucracies, worked to build complex relationships and allowed the vision of this unique space to shift in ways unimagined during its conception.

Getting inked can mean a lot, or very, very little, to the owner of the art. Every tattoo has a story, and UBC students have a breadth of stories to share — all permanently ingrained into their skin. This time we look at a zoo of tattoos from fellow students.

Here at The Ubyssey, we’re transition to a new editorial and we like to think we have good taste. There's a whopping 17 recommendations on this summer’s list — there’s bound to be one that you enjoy!

In a groundbreaking effort by the UBC Student Wellness Centre, the team is suggesting a new method of mental health support: just, like, sharing one?

I cannot in good faith give fair commentary on this performance because I honestly could barely pay attention to the stage when there were about 1,184 decaying corpses in the seats around me.

9:15 p.m.: I think of the faces of SFU students. We’re taught to remove the humanity from them, you know, because we want to destroy them with a laser.

The AMS held their first-ever elections meet-and-greet for Indigenous students after community members raised concerns about speaking on Indigeneity without consulting them.

There are seven questions up for students to have the final say.

For marginalized folks — people of colour, the queer community and disabled people — finding spaces within larger institutions can be complex. Fraternities and sororities are no exception, and these organizations present their own unique issues.
