Welcome to UBC, a Great Opportunity to Expand Your Horizons
Welcome to UBC! We are all on a journey academically and personally. We hope that GCU can add fun, spice and colour to that adventure. Our updates are on the GCU Blog Site www.ubcgcu.org We post important lectures, social events and study group information, places to intersect with others who can build your imagination. It is a great network of creative minds and you add much with your background experiences, academic passion and searching questions. We hope that you will find it a home away from home in a community of mutual support. You can also ask questions or get information at gcarkner@shaw.ca or gord.carkner@gmail.com

Saturday Hikes contact Ute ucarkner@shaw.ca
Regular Thursday Study Group Join us for dessert and study at 277 west 16th ave. starting on September 24 at 7:00 p.m. This fall we are working through the book of Philippians (with insights from Daring Greatly by Brené Brown). The questions from academic life can be brought to the Scriptures and the study of the Bible can inform our academic work in surprising and life-giving ways.
Book Study at Noon on Campus
Finally, Ute offers opportunities for reflective prayer and spiritual direction. These are often quite transformative: ucarkner@shaw.ca Join her to make space for God in your busy life.
Because GCU is interdisciplinary and international, it creates a lively conversation as people bring their wealth of knowledge, experience and expertise to the table. We look forward to hearing about your research passion and the questions you are exploring.
Have a super fall at UBC,
