Three years ago, the night before applications were due, I caught a friend of mine heading into the pool as I was leaving. Knowing that he was a great photographer, I asked him if he had submitted his application yet to be a part of the UBC REC Media Team. He sheepishly said “No… should I?”
<insert my “did you really just ask me that question” face here>
Working his way up the ranks, from Assistant Director to Facilitator, he’s now spent three years in UBC REC and made on impact on his teammates, his fellow staff members, and the thousands of students that storm walls, paddle longboats, and win championships.
While the winner for best paid job I had while I was a student easily goes to being a Residence Advisor, I have never had a volunteer opportunity that tops being part of UBC REC. So, on the night before applications are due, … do I really need to tell you UBC students what you should be doing?
“Give back. Give big” Apply now.
