As an LFS Navigator, you are a key member of the orientation teams welcoming and supporting students in their transition to UBC. Working collectively with the Science Navigator team, LFS Navigators will be some of the first faces students see when they’re arriving on campus during the first week; the service is a timely, on-demand support for students who are learning about our campus and how to get to their classes. LFS Navigators provide one-on-one transactional support to find buildings and classrooms on campus.
As an LFS Navigator, you can expect to:
Support new-to-UBC students through their first week
