WISHES

Like the TED talks, this conference has a wish component, whereby a student will have an opportunity to make a wish to members of the audience, receive some funding, and provide an element of focused programming for the Terry project in future years.

The 2008 inaugural run saw Geoff Costeloe receive that honor, where his wish essentially seeks more opportunities for students from different disciplines to interact in an academic setting.

This, due to requirement hierarchies in the various Faculties, is not an easy thing to do. However, with the help of the Terry project, the backing of the UBC President, as well as Deans, Faculty, graduates, and undergraduates, Geoff has begun to formalize this wish, culminating in its place as a Project of the Clinton Global Initiative.

Details were initially laid out at the talk itself, but have been fleshed out over the last few months and soon to be summarized on this page. As well, by summer’s end, we hope to have a website dedicated to the folks interested in making this wish a reality.
