The UBC Asian Studies Interest Association’s Academic Department will be hosting a series of catered Professor Luncheon (ProfLunch) events for students to meet the Asia Department’s lovely professors! Events will be conducted monthly and will feature a different professor each time. If you’ve ever wanted to ask professors about things like their courses, careers and research, then these events will be great for you!
All of the luncheons will be conducted in Room 604 of the Asian Centre. Please note that RSVP is required because there are only 20 spaces per event, so register as soon as possible!
Admission is free for UBC ASIA members and $2 for non-members. Please bring your UBC Student ID and/or UBC ASIA membership card to the event. Membership will be available for purchase at the events for $10.
