Move UBC
Move UBC is a university-wide annual initiative to increase physical activity and reduce the time students, faculty, staff, and the UBC community spend being inactive. Small changes can add up to big impacts—moving more and breaking up bouts of sedentary behaviour can improve both mental and physical health, impact academic and professional success, and contribute to wellbeing and sustainability in meaningful ways.
Get moving this month by checking out the many events happening on the Okanagan campus (and virtually) below!
