Ready for a little getaway with your fellow AUS volunteers? Join us for our AUS Whistler Retreat on November 9–10, 2026! 💜
As volunteers, we spend so much time planning events and creating experiences for Arts students, so this time, it's YOUR turn to sit back, have fun, and enjoy a well-deserved break!
