In this webinar hosted by journalist and former professional volleyball player Emily Cordonier (BA’06), listen in as former UBC varsity student-athletes share their personal stories of a world most of us will never have the opportunity to experience. From behind the scenes at the Opening Ceremonies to life in the Athletes Village and what it is like competing at the Olympic Games, our alumni share their favourite moments and biggest surprises. This is also a great opportunity to get the inside scoop on who to watch for this summer and on how to support our UBC community headed to Tokyo!

Presented in partnership with UBC Athletics & Recreation.
