VEG | Vegan Enthusiast Group

Objective

All are welcome to join VEG from lifelong vegans to the ‘vegan-curious’. VEG is founded on the idea that universities have a duty to translate the research they produce that supports transitioning to a plant-based food system that is necessary to maximize health and longevity, and address the climate emergency.

Those interested can contact Convener Elizabeth Dean, elizabeth.dean@ubc.ca for details on how to be added to the VEG list for updated information.
