1) CHBE Grad Mentors:
There are ~10 new grads starting in CHBE this fall. Initial training will be provided. Plus, you will have a Starbucks gift card so that you can take your mentees out for coffee a few times over the year. This initiative will allow new CHBE grads to feel welcomed and continue to become successful graduate students. This is a one year (Sept, 2015 – Aug, 2016) commitment. Upon successful completion, you will be able to include this activity in your CV, and we will be happy to provide a support letter highlighting your contribution to building a supportive CHBE graduate student community. First come, first serve. Please email Naoko (naoko.ellis@ubc.ca) for more info or to sign up.
