Librarians: aka Grad Students' BFFs

Seriously. Lucy Kiester, one of our fabulous Librarians will teach us all a bit more about how to search better. Because, trust us, you likely could be doing it WAY better. There are so many useful tricks! Walk away with quicker search times and you will seriously impress your fellow grad buddies.

Things that matter really do matter!

This morning we will have Gemma Armstrong, one of our dedicated VIU Counsellors, join us to guide us through how to prioritize our mental health and well-being even when it seems impossible! A great session to attend at the start of the semester - also super for you to learn some skills and resources to share with fellow students.
