Quarterly Lunch and Learns, green research activities, tours and a chance to win great prizes – find out how you can get involved in UBC’s Green Research Program.
The Green Research Program is switching things up a bit for the 2012/13 school year. We’re replacing our annual workshop with three lunch-and-learn events throughout the year. We’ll still offer great speakers, informative presentations, green products, and of course, prizes, but each event will focus on one theme. This new format will allow us to delve deeper into some key green research issues in a more casual and fun atmosphere.
In addition, with every Green Research e-newsletter you’ll find three new green research activities. Every time you complete an activity, your name is entered in a draw to win a $100 gift certificate to Mountain Equipment Coop. We’ll draw names in December, so be sure to complete all three activities by then!
The more green research activities you participate in throughout the school year, the greater your chances of winning the Grand Research grand prize of a $250 Visa gift card in June.
Here are the green research activities for September to December 2012:
