UVic LipDub an outstanding show of spirit

In the early morning hours of Sept. 25 more than 1,000 people sang, danced and otherwise cavorted on campus for filming of the UVic LipDub video. The event was conceived and led by UVic chemistry/psychology student Shawn Slavin, as a way to "unite the UVic community… and make a name for both UVic and the city of Victoria."

Receiving support from the university, numerous volunteers and an array of corporate sponsors, the project will raise funds for B.C. Children's Hospital and the United Way, through pledge-per-view donations by businesses. The finished UVic LipDub video will be launched and posted to YouTube later this month.
