DRRN highlights graduate student research on disasters

April 22, 2024

Thank you to everyone who joined us at our monthly events! A special shout out to our incredible presenters during the past semester: Darren Blackburn, Hayfaa Abou Ibrahim, Kiran Kaur, Nishi Kant Dixit, and Taylor Legere

It was a privilege to engage with so many UBC graduate students over the semester, forging connections across disciplines and across campus. We had participants from various corners of campus, including Computer Sciences, the School of Community and Regional Planning, Education, Civil Engineering, Geography, and more. Your presence, rain or shine, has allowed us to make a meaningful impact. Whether over samosas or pizza, the food was great, but your insightful contributions were even better. We look forward to connecting with even more graduate students as the DRRN continues to seek new ways of engaging the graduate community on campus. 

For more information on opportunities to volunteer, connect with DRRN members, and all things disaster resilience at UBC, reach out to disaster.resilience@ubc.ca. Thank you once again for your participation and support. We look forward to seeing you at future events!
