 Chemistry Course Union

President: Afton Hiscox
Vice President: Julie McTaggart

At the Chemistry Course Union, we strive to bridge the gap between new undergraduate chemistry students, upper-level undergraduates, graduate students and faculty that will ultimately be involved in their day-to-day lives at UBC Okanagan. We are an organization run by chemistry students for chemistry students, and provide a lengthy list of services that help its members acquire chemistry-related skills, build friendships, and socialize with their TA's and professors on a level outside the lecture hall. Some of these services include:

  • Free one-on-one tutoring from the executive CCU members
  • Lab coats and safety goggles at a cheaper rate than the UBCO bookstore
  • Catered mid-term preparation sessions
  • Special events (camping trips, BBQs) 
  • Social gatherings (skating, movie nights, etc.)

Another advantage of the CCU is that it allows you to get to know the individuals that will be teaching your chemistry labs, because most of the CCU executives will also be your lab instructors. So, if you're looking to become a member, need some help with a lab assignment, have a funny (preferably nerdy) joke to share, or simply want to chat about what we do, you can come find us in the CCU office in SCI 233B, and keep track of upcoming CCU events on our Facebook page.
