Student Successes – Anita Prest

Please join me in congratulating Anita Prest on two counts: First, she has successfully defended her Ph.D. dissertation proposal for the members of her doctoral committee (Dr. Scott Goble, supervisor, Dr. Linda Farr Darling, and Dr. Marie McCarthy) on March 27, 2013, having previously passed her comprehensive examinations in July 2012, and now advanced to candidacy.  Second, she is serving as one of the two university graduate student representatives on the President’s Search Committee to appoint a new Dean of the UBC Faculty of Graduate Studies. Both these achievements are noteworthy.

Connect Workshops

The session is an orientation to Connect so the hands-on assistance will be provided only to those who are interested in starting/experimenting right away. Those need to bring their own laptops. Furthermore, the facilitators will stay for additional 30 minutes after each scheduled session.

Even though the sessions are organized for each department, they are open to all members of the Faculty of Education if someone cannot make it to his/her “own”. The information is available at pdce.educ.ubc.ca/ConnectPD.
