Movember!
Oct 23rd
It’s almost November again, meaning it’s time for the EUS Movember Campaign! For those of you who are not familiar with this, it is a movement in November to promote awareness and to raise money towards the fight against prostate cancer.
We would like to encourage everyone to participate in this event, whether you’re male, female, undergraduate, graduate, faculty or staff member or in any other way involved with the School of Engineering. Click here to join our team and encourage others to donate to the cause. You can also donate to the UBC Okanagan School of Engineering team or to a specific member from this same site. Prizes will be given out to students who fundraise the most money!
Our team is part of the Canadian Federation of Engineering Students (CFES), where we’ll be working with many other engineering programs across the country to raise funds to fight prostate cancer.
The first event to help raise money to our team is being hosted by Alpha Omega Epsilon, an Auxiliary Organization of the EUS. Information on this event can be found here.
