An off-campus event of interest:

Unleash Your Potential

An annual initiative designed to build leadership and inspiration among the youth of today, this conference will engage over 400 delegates, including university students, on topics relevant to the modern world. There will be an Action Plan Competition (details below) as well as a Volunteerism Fair featuring over 50 non-profit organizations offering opportunities for delegates to channel their new found inspiration. The four themes of Zenith 2009 are: Human Rights, International Development, World Peace, and Environment.

This information will be added to the scholarships page on the website eventually, but I thought it important to pass the information long ASAP, as the deadline is rapidly approaching!

What could be better than beer and kareoke? If your answer is nothing, then you’d be correct. Come croon to your favourite songs and enjoy a cold one, or find out how many times you can here “Bohemian Rhapsody” before going insane. See y’all there! Facebook it up…

In January 2009, the fourth annual Live-in for Literacy will be held at seven universities across
Canada. Two students from each university will live in their campus libraries for ten straight
days and nights.

The UBC live-in is underway in Ike Barber, 2nd floor, right by the main entrance.

Live-In for Literacy has seen it’s fundraising totals climb steadily for the past 3 years, and this year’s plan of $40,000 to build 9 libraries in India is nothing short of amazing.

I urge you to stop by, have a chat with the friendly campers, and support their cause.

Live In For Literacy Info

So far this Ubyssey post is the only candidate list I’ve seen so far. When I find some more useful links I’ll post them. For a confusing link, try an explanation on how the new voting system works from Wikipedia or the Ubyssey.

Update 1: The Radical Beer Tribune has a candidate list up, with opinions. Still waiting on AMS website.

Update 2: Official candidate list!

Attention ye Engineering Students!
