Past Years' POP Back

After the resounding success of last year’s POP Back event, which saw an impressive turnout of over 5000 students and participation from more than 30 student organizations and a dozen corporate partners, we are thrilled to announce the return of this event for its second year. POP Back has quickly established itself as the premier semester-start event on Centennial Campus, providing an invaluable platform for students to connect, network, and kick off the academic year with enthusiasm.
