Hello everyone!
I am excited to announce that the Sustainability Initiative is looking for new executive members to step up and run the club! Our past team and many club members graduated last spring, so it's time for a new beginning.
This is a great opportunity to gain experience in chairing meetings, planning events, coordinating volunteers, speaking in public, and more. Plus, there's already a foundation for your to start from. We have executive roles outlined, annual events already set up for you to take over, and many ideas on how you can continue to carry the torch by representing, gathering, and generating new sustainability-minded students at BCIT.
Shoot the Sustainability Initiative a message or email to find out more. This is your chance to gain positive, empowering, and rewarding experiences outside of your programs while networking and building a strong, open-minded community.
