The crews are back from the 2018 San Diego Crew Classic and the athletes are busy getting set to take on the University of Victoria at Brown Cup races and preparing for final exams. A report from this year's Crew Classic is available here.

UBC will host the Brown Cup on Saturday, April 7th at the John M.S Lecky Boathouse. The evening before, on April 6th, there will be a UBC boat christening at 5:00 pm, followed by a fireside chat with UBC Rowing coaches Mike Pearce and Craig Pond. Appetizers and beverages will be provided.

All alumni and friends of UBC Rowing are welcome to attend both the Friday evening and Saturday morning. If you are planning to attend Friday evening, please RSVP to Elizabeth Urbach - elizabeth.urbach@ubc.ca
