In addition to a great opportunity to meet and share food, we will be having a presentation from Christopher Rea (professor of Chinese literature at UBC and co-author of the book, Where Research Begins: Choosing a Research Project That Matters to You (and the World)) who will share information for parents, teens and early college students on how: “Research Makes the Difference”. Please see more details below

We will start as well our fundraising activities to give opportunities to parents to contribute financially to PAC in supporting students and parents activities:

• Registration for the purchase of Save-On-Foods and Sungiven Gift card (payment by cash or e-transfer)
• U-Hill students artwork sales where all the benefits will go to PAC fundraising.

Important: as the capacity at the Wesbrook Community center is limited to 60 people, we need you to register for this event so that we can manage the flow of people.

We are looking forward to meeting you.

Your U-Hill PAC Executive team

Research skills can lead to success in school and beyond, but many students have questions about where to start. Teens and adults, here’s your chance to hear award-winning UBC professor Christopher Rea discuss his recent  book, Where Research Begins: Choosing a Research Project That Matters to You (and the World), co-written with Thomas S. Mullaney. Topics will include: transforming a topic into a set of concrete and compelling questions, finding useful sources, dealing with mental roadblocks, and staying motivated.

This event is for you, if you:

• have difficulty choosing a research topic
• feel intimidated by or unqualified to do research
• feel like your research topic was imposed by someone else
• want to learn new ways to think about how to do research.

Learn how to design a research project that interests you, and why research is for everyone.

This program is suitable for high school and post-secondary students, parents, and anyone interested in research. Best for ages 16+.
