Winter EXPO 2025
The Winter Expo 2025, hosted by the SUO for the first time over two days this February, was a vibrant celebration of student life at UBCO. With over 100 clubs participating, the event gave students a unique opportunity to explore the wide range of communities on campus, connect with club leaders, and get involved.
The expo fostered a strong sense of connection and engagement, making campus life feel more dynamic and welcoming as students discovered new ways to get involved and make the most of their university experience.
Events at The Well Student Pub
We have had such a fun semester of events at the SUO’s very own on-campus pub- The Well!
Some of this semester’s Well Events include:
- Taylor Swift Trivia Night: We invited Swifties from UBCO to come and test their knowledge for the chance to win prizes at The Well

- Well Parties: We hosted a few very popular all-ages nightclub events at The Well this semester! We had the White Lie 2.0 Party, Desi Heat and . Look out for more events like these next semester!
SUO General Election 2025
The SUO General Election 2025 saw strong student engagement, with an impressive 20% of UBCO’s student population casting their votes.
The election brought forward a range of passionate candidates committed to enhancing student life and campus services. It was a great reminder of the power of student voices in shaping the future of our campus community.
SHAG: Sexual Health Awareness Gala
In March, the SUO hosted its annual Sexual Health Awareness Gala—affectionately known as SHAG—bringing fun, education, and empowerment to the forefront of campus life.
The event featured interactive booths, giveaways, and engaging discussions focused on consent, safe sex, and body positivity. SHAG created a welcoming space for students to learn, ask questions, and celebrate sexual health in an inclusive and stigma-free environment.
SUO Beer Garden
To wrap up the semester in style, the SUO hosted a lively Beer Garden this April on a gorgeous sunny spring day. Students gathered to relax, unwind, and celebrate the end of term with friends, cold drinks, and great vibes.
Set against the backdrop of blooming campus grounds, the event was the perfect send-off to the academic year and a much-needed moment of fun before exams.
SUO Spring Carnival
In April, the SUO brought the joy of the season to campus with the Spring Carnival—a vibrant celebration full of games, treats, and lively activities. Students enjoyed classic carnival fun, from inflatable games and prizes to snacks and photo ops, all under the spring sunshine.
The event offered a cheerful break from end-of-term stress and was a great way to bring the UBCO community together before exams kicked off.
Burgers and Ballots
In response to the snap federal election, the SUO hosted a special Burgers & Ballots event, inviting all local candidates to campus for an open meet-and-greet with students.
The event aimed to boost political engagement by giving students a chance to connect directly with those running for office—while enjoying free burgers. It was a fun, accessible way to encourage informed voting and civic participation within the UBCO community.
