The Myanmar Student Club brings together students from Myanmar, and anyone curious about it, to share food, festivals, language, and stories at UBC.

Whether you grew up in Yangon or Mandalay, our club is your gateway to a warm, dynamic community. We host cultural celebrations through the year and create a space where Burmese students far from home can find family.
