Campus community

UBC is committed to providing the best possible environment for learning, living, and working; one in which mutual respect, civility, diversity, opportunity, accessibility, and inclusion are all valued. 

When you come to UBC Sauder, you’ll be joining a supportive community of students, faculty, staff, and alumni who champion our school's core values:

• Rigour: honesty, integrity, academic depth
• Respect: open-mindedness, sensitivity, empathy, awareness of others
• Responsibility: social and corporate responsibility and engagement in community

The transition to university is a big step. As a new student, you’ll be invited to join in an integrated series of orientation programming to give you a confident start to your studies at UBC Sauder. You’ll have plenty of opportunities to meet your new classmates and learn about all of the programs and services available to you.

As a UBC BCom student, you'll be a member of both the UBC Alma Mater Society (AMS) and the Commerce Undergraduate Society (CUS). Funded by your student fees, elected representatives in both societies facilitate services and opportunities to enhance your student experience, including conferences, clubs, and social events.

Key activities include:

• annual conferences focusing on leadership, research, sustainability, strategic consulting, entrepreneurship, career exploration, corporate and personal branding
• numerous opportunities to volunteer and gain leadership experience
• career and academic services including social and professional events
• over 370 student clubs in which to make friends and have fun
