Dear You,Welcome to the FIRST-EVER Arts-wide graduation celebration, The Great Arts Send-off (TGAS)!This event began with a group of students who wanted to highlight and congratulate the significance and achievements of graduating Arts students by organizing a celebration worthy of the their hard work. The four, five, or six (or more) years spent reading, highlighting, printing, editing, writing, discussing, and sleeping (in class) mark an important chapter of our lives. Given the amount of time, effort, and energy that we've put into our BAs, we believed that the three minutes of fame walking across the stage at convocation just wasn't enough.We thought you deserve better, and so we decided to present you with the greatest celebration of your accomplishments to be enjoyed thoroughly with your friends, classmates, and your favorite professors.The dinner-dance event is sure to be filled with great food, great music, great company, great dancing, and most importantly life-lasting memories. Whether you're finally graduating or celebrating someone else's completion, we ask that you look your best and come prepared for a blast.We promise you nothing but the most memorable celebration of your life.Hope to see you there!Yours Truly,Christabel KimThe Great Arts Send-off (TGAS) Marketing Director===celebrate in style==TGAS==celebrate in style==TGAS==celebrate in style===**Important Announcement: Seating Arrangements for TGAS**There are two types of seating arrangements available:1) Group seating: This is the recommended option for any party (2-10 people) that want to sit together.To book seats, simply follow the below procedure.Step 1: Purchase your ticket.

Organized by The Great Arts Send-off
Ever felt lost among the large UBC campus and student body?
It is quite possible for a UBC student to have attended four or five years of university without having been to any of the campus events. We don't blame you--it is a large elephant, even if one bite at a time.
In organizing this graduation celebration, we wanted to create an environment where you could feel comfortable celebrating with your friends, within the context of your fellow UBC graduating students.
Our hope is that through events such as The Great Arts Send-off, UBC students will come to cherish and
take pride in their university experience. TGAS is
simply one initiative to kick-start a more vibrant student body, however; and we
certainly hope it will not be the only.
We hope that events
such as TGAS will become new student-initiated traditions at UBC,
further adding to the character and tradition of the past, present, and
future UBC student body.
