I’ll be the first to say that growing old is a privilege — and an environmental liability. It’s a dark thought that I usually mull over under blankets and between bedroom walls. That was, until I caught UBC alumna Ann Marie Fleming’s sci-fi drama Can I Get a Witness? at this year's Vancouver International Film Festival.

Deciding where to eat is difficult when you’re on a campus as large as UBC’s — but Campus Nutrition has created a way to save you time and money while still getting exactly what you’re craving.
