The Ubyssey is the definitive source of news on the UBC campus. Published every Monday and Thursday, it is the largest student paper in Western Canada. It is written and edited by students, and funded by a combination of student fees and advertising. All UBC students are welcome to join the staff of the paper. Absolutely no experience is necessary. Training is provided by editors, as well as many professional journalists who are Ubyssey alumni. Students can hone their written and verbal communication abilities, learn computer and technical skills, and develop their graphic design talents and applied knowledge that will complement what they learn in the classroom. They will also gain the satisfaction that comes with seeing their hard work splashed across the front page.
