Read about the adventures of earlier students

GSCLM is filled with great experiences, learning, culture, and wonderful students. Here, earlier partipants of the program share some of their most memorable moments.

Friendsgiving

Rosaleen Han, Batch VI

This is the first thanksgiving I’ve celebrated in my life. Canadian students hosted this “Friendsgiving” event and invited the whole batch to celebrate Thanksgiving in our dorm Porcelaenshaven. During the event, we drew turkey hands and expressed our gratitute to each other. We also had a great dinner cooked and served by Canadian students. It was such a unique and wonderful experience!

Snack Exchange

Christian Kolby, Batch VI

I think a very memorable event to me was the snack exchange during the intro week at CBS. I think it was a great event and effective icebreaker for us to talk while trying new local snacks from China, Canada, and Denmark.

Kayaking between the Gulf Islands

Christian Eilertsen, Batch VI

Stuart and I went out on a kayaking trip just after the semester at UBC had ended. We kayaked out from his backyard. It was a fun and unique experience to see big ferries sail by, look at all the wild life, and see this part of British Columbia. In the kayak, we had packed food, a tent, and some sleeping bags. During our trip, we stopped at a couple of different islands and saw the remote nature from the landside. In the evening we stopped and put up the tent, before sailing back the next day. Stuart gave me an exceptional experience. I hope others will take initative to share similar experiences with other GSCLM students.
