An active member in administrative and management duties in my department, I contribute to a number of committees in the department; admissions, hiring, jurying, undergraduate. I am dedicated to these parts of the running of the department, and take these duties as serious opportunities to continually improve the program. I am present in the lives of many of my students and alumni in their most celebratory moments\u2014attending openings and events, supporting initiatives outside the class. I write an estimated 30+ references every year for undergraduates applying for second-year entry programs, scholarships, graduate programs, residencies, and other funding, as well as for former TAs seeking academic jobs.<\/p>\n
In 2013\u20132016, I served as Head of the Undergraduate Committee and the Undergraduate Advisor for studio VISA. As an advisor, I oversaw general undergraduate duties, including transfer and study abroad credit articulations, the process of graduating students, and recruitment activities, including two three-day transfer articulation meetings with other institutions. As the advisor, I worked closely with students going through difficult situations\u2014personal emergencies, mental illnesses, difficulties with roommates, and so on. I attended to these cases with patience and care, resolving them in professional as well as compassionate ways, and actively opened access or guided students to the many UBC resources available. I have spent many years as a committee member on the undergraduate committee, and will continue to do so.<\/p>\n
Finally, I actively instigate opportunities for our students and alumni, and acknowledgements to the various accomplishments of our staff and faculty in written, facilitation and a curatorial capacities.\u00a0 Namely:<\/p>\n
