Join us for the first-ever Arts Takeover x Athletics event — a spirited celebration of community and UBC pride at the Thunderbirds double-header basketball home opener against visiting UFV Cascades.
Arts Takeover x Athletics is a new collaboration between the Faculty of Arts and UBC Recreation that invites the Arts community to come together in support of the Thunderbirds and our Arts student-athletes.
Looking to get energized before the game? Head to the Arts Undergraduate Society pep rally for fun activities and music that’ll get you fired up and ready to cheer before tip-off! Stay tuned to @ubc_arts and @ubc_aus on Instagram for updates leading up to the event.
