The Land and Food Systems Undergraduate Society (LFS|US) of the University of British Columbia cordially invites you to participate in our annual (virtual) Career and Opportunities Fair. This event will take place on Friday, February 26th from 11am-2pm (PST) virtually on Zoom.

This event will host numerous employers/agencies to promote their jobs, internships, volunteer positions, and graduate school programs to our students and alumni in a variety of fields; including nutritional science, health sciences, sustainability, agriculture, animal biology, economics, international development, and more. The event is free for employers to participate in and promote their company’s opportunities. This event will happen virtually over Zoom, where companies can talk to students in separate breakout rooms. This will be organized by us seamlessly.

We are specifically reaching out to the Public Health Association of BC because we believe your involvement in our Career and Opportunities Fair would be of great interest to 1700 of our undergraduate students- many of whom are interested in pursuing careers in public health and contributing to BC Public Health’s various projects. There was great interest to hear about the upcoming work/volunteer/internship opportunities that a representative from the Public Health Association of BC could potentially offer our eager undergraduate students. We believe your attendance would be of amazing value. Students are exploring their options and are looking for opportunities and are wanting to hear stories from individuals in the public health field, like yourself.
