New campaign: Be a voice for campus safety!

We would appreciate your support in spreading the word about this initiative, so we can make sure to learn from as many individuals as possible.
Comms: Everything Everywhere All at Once
According to Jim Maiella, EVP of Corporate Communications at AMC Networks, it’s an extraordinary time to be working in communications, regardless of industry, level or specific job description. He believes there’s no other position better situated to help navigate and positively impact all aspects of a business or organization moving forward as the professional communicator, or another that has the potential to have as lasting and broad-based impact on its success, regardless of the specific challenge or opportunity.
New campaign: UBC will be included in Homelessness Services Association of BC’ s Point-in-Time Homeless Count

New campaign: Seminar: Everything you need to know about occupational sensitization
Whether you work in a lab, animal facility, workshop, museum — or even an office, you may come into contact with sensitizers at your workplace.

Picture this: the nine corporate photos you must never, ever, take again
It’s not easy to take good photos.. even harder when you’re trying to convey an idea or represent a type of work. There are some clichés and shortcuts that people have all used to make the job easier… but the question is, do these really work?
