I’m excited to share that Eat Well Global has launched a new initiative called Eat Well Connect (EWC), a global professional network for those working in food, nutrition and/or agriculture that provides members with tools and resources to advance their careers and lead with impact. Membership is free and members will receive access to professional development events, chances to network with cross-cultural nutrition professionals, bi-monthly newsletters, and more.

To find out more please visit eatwellglobal.com/eat-well-connect or contact me directly.

My name is Adriana Laurent and I work for the Climate Hub at UBC.  

We are currently recruiting a Graduate Academic Assistant for our Indigenous Engagement and Climate Change position. The GAA will be working closely with Dr. Jan Hare and the rest of the Indigenous Engagement Working Group for the UBC Climate Emergency. The deadline to apply is on September 27th through Careers Online. 

I was wondering if it would be possible to share this with your graduate student networks! 

Here is our Facebook post and Instagram post. I’ve also attached an image if it’s easier to share that way. 

 

Thank you so much! 

Best,  

Adriana Laurent
