I have the great privilege of speaking at two fantastic student-driven conferences this month. Check out the websites and mark your calendars!<\/p>\n
First, on Saturday October 15 in the new sustainable CIRS buiding, is\u00a0ICE 2011<\/a>: the Interuniversity Conference on Education. The focus is on innovations in education, and I’ll be speaking about how I’ve approached the question “Why should any student care about my class?<\/a>” Check out the agenda and my talk abstract\u00a0here<\/a>. Everyone is welcome, and registration is free!<\/p>\n Second, on Monday October 24, is the kick-off to\u00a0CLASS<\/a>: Conference on Learning and Academic Student Success. This year it’s a full week of workshops and speakers geared toward helping first year and otherwise new-to-UBC students transition to life at UBC-V. I’ll be speaking about \u00a0“What I’ve Learned that has Changed my Life<\/a>” at the opening ceremony. \u00a0I met with organizing team members Julie and Bowen this morning for a brief interview. Check it out on the CLASS website or a direct link to Youtube\u00a0here<\/a>.<\/p>\n Exciting times! Hope to see you there!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I have the great privilege of speaking at two fantastic student-driven conferences this month.
