This is an opportunity to interact with sister GK chapters from around the world (South Africa ,New Zealand, Malaysia and more)!

This year, we're trying to organize the "Triple Threat" project. The Triple Threat will be the most ambitious GK event that we have ever had for Make a Difference Day. We will need three teams of volunteers who will each be serving at different locations.

The commitment should only be for 2-3 hours from 1:00 in the afternoon till roughly 4:00 PM.

One team will be asked to deliver pumpkins to seniors at an elderly home. The second team will be going to carve pumpkins with a Boys and Girls Club elementary school students. And the third team will be helping out with Covenant House, a teen shelter.

We're in real need for volunteers! We're looking to get atleast 30 Golden Key members for this event!

So please email service@ubcgoldenkey.org if you are at all able
to help out on Saturday the 23rd!

Speakers, consisting primarily of recent university graduates, will discuss academic achievement in their undergraduate years and innovative learning in their current jobs. They will also highlight the connection (or lack thereof) between their degree and career.

Speakers will address the following questions during their talks:
- Academics: What type of degree or programs were completed/attempted?
- Career: What is the current nature of work being done? How was the job found? Was co-op or internship helpful for the current work? What about studies?
- Was the degree chosen with a career path in mind, or did the career follow from the degree?
- Advice for academic achievers
- Other interesting/useful information

Each speaker will talk for about 10 minutes, followed by 5 minutes of questions. There will be an intermission. When all have spoken, a 15 minute panel session follows for general questions.
