Dear ASSIST participants,
Hello and welcome! Here in Vancouver, we are all thrilled that you have chosen to join us for ASSIST 2007. My name is Sonja and I am a student staff member working on the social/residence life aspect of ASSIST. I am very excited to be involved in planning various activities that will help you meet new friends, as well as get adjusted to UBC and Vancouver in general. I am even more excited to meet each and every one of you and I look forward to hearing about your diverse backgrounds and experiences!
This is one of many e-mails you will receive from me before you come to Vancouver. I plan to provide as much information as I can in order to make your transition as smooth as possible. If I omit anything, please do not hesitate to contact me! I would be thrilled to answer any questions you may have about UBC, Vancouver or Canada. And if I can't answer them, I will certainly do my best to point you in the direction of someone who can.

About Me
- Sonja Babovic
- Hi everyone! My name is Sonja and I am going into second year Science at UBC. My parents are originally from Serbia, but I have spent most of my life in Kuwait. I’m really excited to be here at UBC in Canada and I think British Columbia is definitely one of the most beautiful places in the world. I like all the cultural diversity that we have here and I am very excited to get to know you and find out about your background! Some of my hobbies include travelling all over BC, ballet, First Nations art, volunteering on and off-campus, baking, and sipping soy lattes. And, most importantly, meeting wonderful people such as yourself!
