Ever wanted to thank your professor, teaching assistant, supervisor or mentor for all the hard work they have done so far, but don’t know how? LFS|US and the Equity and Inclusion Office will be providing free apples and sticky notes for you (students) to write an appreciation note which you will then drop off at the educator’s desk with the apple. We know that the more appreciated educators feel, the better the teaching tends to be, and students can play a huge role in fostering a positive learning environment and overall positive wellbeing for all.
Where: Martha Piper Plaza
When: Thursday, October 22nd from 10am-1pm
For Your Information: The tradition of students bringing an apple for their teacher has roots from the 17 or 18th century in Northern Europe or United States when poorer farmers would pay their children’s teachers with food – most notably with common and plentiful apples and potatoes.
Don’t forget to hashtag #apples4educators on Facebook, Instagram & Twitter to enter & win an AMS Food Services Gift Certificate!
The Land and Food Systems Undergraduate Society acknowledges the support of the Equity and Inclusion Office. Check out their new series of workshops “Connect with Respect Conversations.” Sign up at equity.ubc.ca
