The Centre for Student Involvement and Careers, in partnership with the UBC Hub of Ten Thousand Coffees, is excited to bring you a virtual mentorship and networking opportunity to connect with Arts alumnus Bill Chung.
This event is open to all students and alumni.
The Morphology of Failure
In this talk, Bill Chung (BA’08), a Senior Product Designer at Shopify, will discuss ways to react when things go sideways in your life, in your studies, or at work. Stories of his own personal failures, some against the backdrop of his time at UBC, will help to illustrate some of these strategies. He’ll end the talk by leaving students with concrete habits they should form to best recover from failure, and hopefully, see failure as the best teacher we’ve always known.
