Season Finale: Transgender Day of Visibility

Today is Transgender Day of Visibility, a day dedicated to celebrating and recognizing the contributions of transgender people in the world. Hi, my name is Ky (she/they) and I am a transgender woman. As with the episode on Transgender Day of Remembrance, I am a little bit overwhelmed with stuff to do right now and my original plan for the episode ended up getting scrapped. Instead, you get me. For the last time this term. In this episode I share a little bit more of my story, what I'm doing here, and why I'm doing it. If you take away one thing from this day, one action that you can do to make a difference for transgender people, it would be learning how to introduce your pronouns along with your name when you meet new people. It is easy to do, does not harm you at all, and makes a world of difference for trans/non-binary people. Check below for more resources within and outside of our school community. Learn more about the resources and supports we have at our school and beyond.

Recognizing Black History Month and Being an Ally

Today, February 28th, is the last day of Black history month and though I believe every month should be black history month (because history shouldn't be divided by race), I took this opportunity to speak with Chiamaka (Chichi) Achebe, an extraordinary 2nd-year student about her experiences in and out of Sauder. Lastly, we wrap up the episode with a discussion on what it means to be an Ally, and how we can move away from performative allyship toward actions that create tangible impact. For more resources on black history month, check out these links below! Learn more about the resources and supports we have at our school. Resources about Anti-Racism at UBC!

Let's do some research! Student experiences in the Commerce Scholars Program

We're back from the break and ready for an exciting year ahead! In continuing our journey to cover the absolutely massive range of experiences here at Sauder, we're going to be talking to a couple of students in the Commerce Scholars Program! CSP is an amazing program for anyone even remotely interested in pursuing academia, research, or just looking to grow their own critical thinking ability! It's a two-year program that gives you the opportunity to develop your own research topic with a mentor and possiblyyyyy even be published. We talk to Jackson Miller and Teagon Donald in back-to-back rapid interviews to give you a sense of how each found their way into the program... and also maybe I share a little bit because ummm.. I'm also in it too (and think it's toooootally under-rated). All that plus a little bit of CUS news and you get the podcast you know and love! Learn more about the program here and attend the info session this Feb 7th! https://mybcom.sauder.ubc.ca/courses-money-enrolment/specialized-academic-opportunities/commerce-scholars-program Music credits : Ending - Jblanked - Cobie Sample Additional sound effects and music from https://www.zapsplat.com Free to use with attribution, not for commercial purposes

How to talk to a Professor 101 and Other Things to Know for Back to School

Have you ever had a professor that you really wanted to get to know more but just didn't know how to do it? Maybe you're an incoming first-year that's never had that type of relationship before, or a second-year that's starting to think about their specialization and is looking to get more info. Whatever the case, connecting with your instructors is an extremely useful practice and to help me break it down is someone we'll all see in our degree, Professor of COMM 101 & 202, Conor Topley (he/him). On top of that, we cover a couple of updates around COVID, some newly posted Resources from the CUS, and explain the upcoming Constitutional referendum. All in this episode of See Us!

Has COVID driven anyone else insane? Mental Health talks with Sauder HeWe

Being in University is stressful, growing up is stressful, COVID is stressful. Idk about ya'll but in the last year, all of these things have been slowly chipping away at my sanity, and it feels like it takes everything I have to just hang on. That is why in this episode we are going to be talking about mental health with Alycia Berg and Vivian Mak, the incoming VP Mental Healths for Sauder Health and Wellness next year! Together we talk about the challenges of homesickness, overcoming burnout, and resources to learn more. I hope you join us in the conversation as we start to unravel mental health stigma, and learn that sometimes its okay not to be okay.

Ky then shares some thoughts about the stress of the summer as a student trying to juggle jobs or internships, and what ways she’s found to get the best out of your "time off".
