Happy Friday everyone,
It is a sunny day and the weekend forecast is just as beautiful! Isn’t this weather the best?
Thank you for everyone that stopped by at the BBQ last Monday. Hope you enjoy our burgers the organic vegetable, and chips. The CHBE GSC annual election is coming in the month of June! Stay tuned to the blog to read about the details!
Since 2008, UBC has had a Statement on Respectful Environment for Students, Faculty and Staff. It is a comprehensive statement issued by the UBC Executive about our commitment to a respectful environment, the responsibilities of members of the community, and how to address related concerns. It can be viewed online at http://www.hr.ubc.ca/memos/revised-respectful-environment-statement-may-27-2014/.
Please take this opportunity to familiarize yourself with the revised statement and share it with faculty, staff, and students as they commence work or learning opportunities in your department or faculty.

The GSS and the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies is carrying out a 
qualitative study of graduate students’ perceptions of mentoring. They will
be exploring graduate students’ perspectives on mentoring to inform and improve mentoring as an integral part of teaching and learning at UBC. They’d now like to invite you to participate in this study and share your experiences and perspective with us. Please review the official invitation letter and consent form then sign up to do your bit in helping them improve the graduate student mentorship experience at UBC.
Wish everyone a great weekend! Cheers, Jun, VP Communication
