Planned Vacation this Summer: July 21, 24 and August 8-18, 2023 [X]

Dear graduate students,

Hello! We hope everyone are enjoying the summer. The new graduate student space desk assignment proposal has been adopted for almost a year and it is time to perform a quick review of how this arrangement has worked for you.

Just a quick recap, last fall a new graduate student desk proposal was adopted. 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 we 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:

https://ubc.ca1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_d0xslqMad9vS1iB

• 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
