The Centre for Teaching, Learning and Technology (CTLT) will be offering a Graduate Instructional Skills Workshop (ISW) on September 10, 16 & 17, 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 September 10, 16 & 17, 2023 ISW please click here: https://events.ctlt.ubc.ca/events/graduate-instructional-skills-workshop-september-10-16-17-2023-preliminary-application/

Application opens on July 28 at 9 am and closes on September 6, 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.

The online application for November 2023 graduation  is now open for eligible students.  Enrollment Services will not be sending out a notification to students, as they don’t want to also capture (and confuse) those students who are expecting to graduate in May 2024, instead.  If you are aware of any student who missed graduating in May 2023 and should apply to graduate in Nov 2023, please let them know to apply, now.

Please encourage eligible students to apply regardless of outstanding fees or current progress of their program (ie. waiting for final grades from exams, or thesis due by October).  Students have until Friday, October 20, 2023 (for G+PS Administered programs only) to submit their application through the Student Service Centre (SSC).  The link to the application can be found under Graduation, after the students have logged in.

LFS Vehicle Notice 

Some Faculty and Staff members have recently noticed that they are unable to book a vehicle due to the previous booking; however, the vehicle has not been used or taken from the parking lot.

Please remember to modify your bookings based on the time that you will be using the vehicles, so that others can make bookings for short-notice meetings, events, or fieldwork.

Please remember that the Toyota Prius is not to be used for fieldwork, and is typically meant for short-term travel to and from meetings, conferences, or tours. Due to these booking issues, we will be making modifications to the LFS Vehicle Policy over the coming months to prevent unnecessary bookings and allow for more effective usage.

Thanks so much,
