More about the UBC Terry Project:
The Terry Project is an initiative that approaches global issues and current events with a twist. Through combining creativity and wit with a perspective that bridges the art and sciences, Terry aims to inspire students to develop and promote just and sustainable civil societies throughout the world. One of Terry's aims is to deliver a speaker’s series showcasing high profile (and engaging) academics, cognoscenti, and proactive members of our global community. By creating a synergistic forum that addresses topics such as climate change, sustainability, social inequity, GMOs and AIDS, we hope to stress the importance of multi-disciplinary learning, thus inspiring students to actively pursue university educations that will assist them in developing and promoting sustainable societies throughout the world.
