Food for Thought

This event is our first in a new dinner and discussion series that will bring students and experts together to learn and discuss ideas, share perspectives, and build connections. The event will start with a dinner catered by COCO Cafe and then lead into a guided learning discussion on the topic of facilitating group meetings with expert community facilitators Mitch Miyagawa and Myriam Verzat (bios below).

Frosh Week 2022 - Video Recap

Frosh Week 2022 was our largest social and celebration for new and returning students at VIU this Fall. We had an incredible week playing with different forms of paint, eating delicious pancakes and sausages, and dancing a night away with live music from Anushka Kashyap, Wasakaka Latin All-Star Band, and DiRTY RADiO.

Thanks to all the students who joined us in the celebration, we can’t wait to see you at our next event!

A big thank you to our event photographer/videographer, Alex Harte.
