Mandatory Annual Check-in

Standard

Friendly reminder 

On Behalf of the LFS Graduate & Postdoctoral Office

To:  LFS Graduate Students

We hope this email finds you well, safe and healthy!

The LFS Graduate & Postdoctoral Office is offering mandatory Annual Check in’s with all research-based students (these check-in’s are also available for all professional program students as well, on a voluntary basis).  These individual zoom meetings will cover several topics including academic progress, funding, and wellbeing.

As access to our office has been restricted due to COVID,  it’s important that you feel supported by us and that you are aware of resources and services available to you, even if some of you still aren’t on campus.

You can book your appointment through Canvas (instructions attached).  The available appointments for October are now posted. Additional appointments will be scheduled as needed.

We hope you will find these meetings valuable.  Please don’t ever hesitate to contact us if you need anything.  We are here to help you.

Sincerely,

Sean, Shelley, Lia and Iris

The LFS Graduate & Postdoctoral Office

Hello folks, just a heads up that Sheryl Staub-French (AD- Diversity and Equity in Applied Science) has extended an invite to interested undergraduate and graduate students in the Faculty of Science to attend EDI training run by Bakau Consulting (formerly Cicely Blain Consulting).

There is still about 100 spots left on this Wednesday’s session (Sept 29th) on “Fundamentals of Anti-Oppression”. There is also a session in October.

Please forward this on to the students in your units who might be interested.
