Benefits:
- Learn more about what different industries and careers you can pursue within Applied Science
- Gain insights and advice from industry members about potential career paths
- Make industry connections and expand your professional network
- Create a positive impression on those who may potentially hire you one day
Fast Track Funding for Industry Nights
PAF has created a new category of funding available to EUS department/program clubs and for approved E-IDEAS groups. Student groups can access this funding provided they have an approved budget and event via APSC PD. Events that go through this category would be eligible to use UBC’s alumni distribution lists and receive additional guidance in event planning, and special reimbursement exceptions.
Each eligible group will receive $1000 + the remaining pool distributed based on percentage of the student population
