For Imagine Day 2022, the Department of Philosophy has a series of events planned for both new and returning students.
UBC Philosophy’s Welcome Back Event for Returning Students & Potential Philosophy Majors
- 9:30 am – 10:30 am
- Buchanan Block D Building, BUCH D324, 1866 Main Mall
This Imagine Day, join the Department of Philosophy in person for a one-hour event dedicated to asking (and, occasionally, answering) Big Questions. We’ll give a brief overview of our slate of undergraduate programs, opportunities, and events before hopping into Question Period, during which a selection of Faculty members will answer questions such as, ‘What are Philosophy’s timeless problems?’, ‘What is your favourite book with a philosophy theme?’, and ‘What can you do with a Philosophy degree anyway?’, all within a tight time limit. Be sure to come with your own questions (big and small)!
Philosophy majors, minors, and honours students—as well as elective-takers and the generally-curious—are all welcome! Contact phil.ugradengagement@ubc.ca for details.
Arts Faculty Fair
- 11:30-1:30pm
- Buchanan Courtyard
This Imagine Day, we’ll have a table for new students in the Buchanan Courtyard. Please visit us with questions about the kinds of philosophy classes and programs on offer at UBC. Representatives from the Philosophy Students’ Association will also be available to chat about how new students can get involved in the undergraduate philosophy community here at UBC. First-time philosophers welcome!
