Good afternoon:

Since 2015, the LFS Graduate Student Travel Award has provided over $300,000 in funding to LFS students to attend and present a research paper or poster describing their thesis research at a scientific meeting/conference, held by a professional society, outside the Lower Mainland.  100% of this funding comes from a generous $1.4 million endowment from the estate of Ursula Knight Abbott.  In 2022-2023, 51 LFS GSTAs were awarded totalling over $77,000.

A number of changes have been made to the LFS Graduate Student Travel Award for 2023-2024.  The new application will be in effect between September 1, 2023 and August 31, 2024.

Here’s a summary of the changes –

• The application is now a Qualtrics survey.
• An expense summary and/or receipts are no longer needed.  Proof of presentation is still required.
• Supervisor’s signature is no longer required (both the student and supervisor will be informed via email once an award nomination has been sent to G&PS for processing).
• The award value has been changed from up to $1500 to a lump award offer of $1750.

MSc students may claim up to one award per degree program.

PhD students may claim up to two awards per degree program;  PhD students can only claim one award per funding period September 1 to August 31.

• Students who have already claimed their maximum number of LFS GSTAs may email the Manager, Graduate Programs – LFS to request consideration for additional awards.  These will be considered on a case-by-case basis.

Additional information will be posted on the LFS website on Friday (Sept 1).

Please let me know if you have any questions.

The Centre for Teaching, Learning and Technology (CTLT) will be offering a Graduate Instructional Skills Workshop (ISW) on October 14, 21 & 22, 2023.

The Grad ISW is a 24-hour, fully participatory, and peer-based professional development workshop for graduate students that is beneficial to both new and experienced instructors.

Please note: You must attend all face-to-face sessions and complete all independent work for the complete duration of the workshop, (i.e. the entire 24-hour workshop).

To apply for the waitlist for October 14, 21 & 22, 2023 ISW please click here: https://events.ctlt.ubc.ca/events/graduate-instructional-skills-workshop-october-14-21-22-2023-preliminary-application/

 

Application opens on September 1 at 9 am and closes on October 11, 2023 at 4:30 pm. By clicking this link, you are applying for the WAITLIST only and this DOES NOT register you for the workshop. Graduate ISWs at UBC are in high demand. To create an equitable registration process all graduate students who apply for an ISW will first be enrolled on a waitlist, from which participants are randomly selected. If a participant has applied for more than one ISW waitlist, their name will appear more frequently when generating the participant list, giving them a higher chance of being selected for an ISW. If you are accepted into the workshop, you will be contacted by our office to confirm your registration. For more information and a list of all upcoming sessions visit: http://ctlt.ubc.ca/gradisw

 

Workshop Eligibility:

 

A participant who wishes to take the Grad ISW is eligible if they are:

• a full-time or part-time registered graduate student at UBC during the academic term when the ISW is offered
• a graduate student at UBC who has completed degree requirements but has not yet convocated
• a joint degree graduate student who is enrolled at UBC and another institution
• a graduate student at UBC pursuing non-degree studies
• a visiting graduate student that is eligible to take courses

 

A participant who wishes to take the Grad ISW is not eligible if they are:

• not a graduate student at UBC
• a graduate student at UBC who has on-leave status
• a visiting graduate student that is not eligible to take courses
