UBC Alumni Weekend 2013 is nearly here!
In celebration of this special event on May 25, the Irving K. Barber Learning Centre will host a program featuring UBC alumnus Dr. Laifong Leung. Professor Leung will talk about the Chinese community in Canada in the 20th century as part of “Chinese Canadian Stories: From Early Literature to Modern Archives.” The event takes place from 1:15 to 3:15 p.m. at the Learning Centre’s Chilcotin Room (Room 256).
Tours of UBC’s cultural collections at the Museum of Anthropology and the exceptional Chung Collection at UBC Library’s Rare Books and Special Collections (RBSC) will complement this talk. The Chung Collection, located on level one of the Learning Centre, will also be open for self-guided tours from noon to 4 p.m.; visitors will receive limited edition Chung Collection magnets.
Library staff will also be activating alumni cards in the Student Union Building; stop by and say hello!
