Student Engagement Hub:
The Student Engagement Hub (SEHUB) is an in-person, staffed space that offers student services, peer support, and community-building opportunities for BCom and DAP students.

The Student Engagement Hub exists to help you feel connected, supported, and informed throughout your time at UBC Sauder.
