Stop the count! Election results:
UBC Anime Club's 2022-2023 executive team
A huge thank you to all of the amazing candidates that ran this year. We really do mean it when we say that not only was this year's roster of exec candidates was unprecedented, with actual contested positions for the first time since 2018 and the first time presidency has been contested since 2016, but it was also a nail-bitingly close race. Every single candidate put their best foot forward, and at points the race was down to just one or two votes. But the people have spoken with their ballots, and this is what they said:
President
Oleg Chepakovich
Treasurer
Michael Xian
Vice-President Internal
Afiq Aqlan
Vice-President Exeternal
Jacob Zhang
Creative Director
Poff
Director of Communications
Ray Raffaele
Events Coordinator
Naomi Loy
Librarian
Ivan Feng
Secretary
Spencer "Ono" Terry
A huge congratulations to the winning candidates, and once again a big thank you to everyone who ran as a potential candidate. Thank you to everyone who ran, and thank you to everyone who voted! It is genuinely wonderful to have so many people who are so enthusiastic to help with the club, and it is with all of you guys's help that the club can continue to exist and thrive.

This Week: Video Game Night
It's been a hot minute since the last time we hosted Video Game Night, but before the year ends we've got one more in store for you all. We are excited to announce that we will (hopefully!) have finished building brand new, actually functional Dance Dance Revolution hardpads that will actually work, unlike the foam ones from before, to create a close to arcade level experience, just for you guys. They won't be pretty, but they will be much more playable. We will also, hopefully, have updated the Stepmania song selection.
We will also, as always, have assorted fighting games available and setup (Guilty Gear Xrd, Uniclr, Blazblue Central Fiction, Meltyblood Type Lumina, MBAACC, and other games in the genre), a couple of Nintendo Switches (running Smash Bros. Ultimate, Mario Kart 8 Dx, Overcooked etc), as well as Nintendo Wii(s) (running Mario Kart Wii + CTGP Revolution, Rhythm Heaven Fever, Wii Sports + Resort, etc).
Do you have a game or console you're willing to share? Do you have a request for a specific game that's not listed here that you want to play? We hear ya. Please reach out to an exec via our Discord (either DM an exec or @exec-ping to get us) and we'll gladly accomodate your request.
