Aug 22nd: Volunteer positions
The Office of Graduate Studies and Research (OGPR) currently has two graduate student (preferably one Masters and one PhD) volunteer positions on our Dean’s Advisory Committee on Research (DACR) as described below.
We are looking for two graduate student volunteers for the Dean’s Advisory Committee on Research (DACR). The committee is scheduled to meet once per month every second Tuesday for two hours starting at 9:30am. We ask members to act as “information conduits” back and forth to/from grad students/departments (bringing up issues from grad students/departments; bringing back feedback on issues to the committee). We discuss issues related to research (e.g., representing FOE research to the University community, policies related to research, etc.). In the coming year, this committee will be an important link for the “Year of Research in Education” and we are hoping for active participation from departmental representatives. The first DACR meeting will be held on September 9 at 9:30am in Scarfe 309C.
This committee would provide graduate students with the opportunity to provide a voice for the student perspective on a wide-range of issues and topics relevant to the Faculty of Education as well as the wider University community.
If you would like to volunteer for this committee, please send me an email with a brief outline of why you are interested in the committee and what qualities you would bring to the committee. Email to: christine.wallsworth@ubc.ca by 4:30pm, August 28, 2014.
