Student Listening Sessions provide a space for open dialogue between students and the Vice-President Students, Dr. Ainsley Carry. These sessions are hosted by Ainsley and are open to UBC students. Listening Sessions aim to foster transparent communication and ensure that student voices and experiences are directly heard and reflected in the strategic decisions that shape student life on the UBC campus.
Students Listening Sessions help build a more inclusive, responsive, and supportive university environment by serving as a forum in which students can share their feedback on what is important to them, what is working well, and key issues directly with Ainsley and the VPS portfolio.
