Review of the graduate student space

Standard

Dear graduate students,

Hello! We hope everyone are enjoying the summer. Thanks to those who have already filled out the survey. We’re emailing again to ensure we reach all of you for feedback and comments.

The graduate student space desk assignment proposal has been adopted for almost 2 years and it is time to perform another quick review of how this arrangement has worked for you.

Just a quick recap, the proposal basically assigns desks to each PI proportionally to their student enrollment, in hope to offer flexibility of desk use while encouraging sharing of limited resources.

We would love to hear your feedback so will greatly appreciate if you could spend some time to fill out the below survey. You can either click on the link below or scan the QR code to partake. We’ve also sent out a separate survey to your PIs to collect their valuable feedback as well.

We also continue to offer ways for PIs and students to provide feedback in these graduate student shared spaces. We have included them below for your reference.

  • LFS Open Feedback Channel (Anonymous) continues to be available:

  • Any concerns/feedback can also be sent to:

lfs.facilities@ubc.ca

Thank you for your continued support and understanding as we navigate a better and more efficient use of limited graduate student space.

 

Cheers,

Imelda Cheung
