The Centre for Teaching, Learning and Technology (CTLT) will be offering a Graduate Instructional Skills Workshop (ISW) on May 11, 12 & 19, 2024.

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 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 May 11, 12 & 19, 2024 ISW click here: https://events.ctlt.ubc.ca/events/graduate-instructional-skills-workshop-may-11-12-19-2024-preliminary-application-2/

Application opens on March 29 at 9 am and closes on May 8 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.

Project Pitch Event April 16, 2024, 2:00 pm to 4:00 pm | Michael Smith Labs and on Zoom
This past spring, the Collective solicited ideas from the research community for projects that could be completed by the next round of Solutions Scholars.  After a successful call, eight projects have advanced to a pitch session which will be open to the UBC community.

Similar to an “accelerator” style event, teams of applicants pitch their projects to a panel of judges and others from the climate research community at UBC. Each applicant team will have five minutes to present their project, followed by five to seven minutes of questions. Questions from the audience will be collected through Slido and may be used by the panel during the pitch session.  This isn’t Shark Tank: the objective is to help each team realize their goals, regardless of whether their project is selected for the program.

This event is open to everyone interested in climate research at UBC.  We invite the UBC community to come together in the spirit of collaboration and the goal of advancing climate solutions through research.

Solutions Scholar Summit April 18, 2024, 2:00 pm to 4:00 pm  |  St. John’s College UBCV

From adaptation and mitigation to education, the 2023/24 Solutions Scholars have been exploring climate solutions related to urban environments, extreme heat, and fires.

Come hear their research updates and join table discussions to advance the dialogue.

In the first hour, this year’s cohort will share updates of their projects; in the second hour, each scholar will host a table to facilitate smaller group discussion around the topic of their research.  This is an opportunity to learn from one another, as well as provide feedback to the scholars who will be completing their projects over the following four months.

Refreshments Provided.
