Ivy He

Ivy He

This week as part of our ongoing “Meet the Student Services Team” we would like to introduce Ivy He. Ivy is the Faculty’s Receptionist and is the friendly face behind the reception desk in Student Services. Read on to learn more about Ivy:

Tell us about yourself and what brought you to your role with Pharm Sci Student Services?

Prior to working at the faculty, I worked at a non-profit organization and assisted people from different age groups and cultural backgrounds. As the first point of contact for visitors to the Faculty and the Office of Student Services, I strive to provide the best experience for the students and visitors.

What is your role within Student Services?

I help students with printing credits, room bookings, supplemental and deferred exams, lab coats, and other enquiries. I also assist with different events such as the Dean’s Luncheons, Dean’s Reception, and Multiple Mini Interviews.

What do you enjoy most about your position?

I enjoy seeing our students become successful in their professional career. It makes me very happy when students come back and tell me that they enjoyed their summer job working in a pharmacy or  that they were hired for a position they were seeking.

What do you do in your spare time?

I enjoy dancing and watching movies.

What is your favourite Vancouver winter-time activity?

Sitting by the fire, drinking hot chocolate and watching a movie at home.

Do you have any advice for students?

Other than studying hard in school, start to develop your professional network and get involved in different professional development opportunities. Aim high, work hard, and give back.

Student Services Update – Admission into UBC Pharm Sci

This week, Jennifer Chatterton, Director of UBC Pharm Sci’s Student Services, has an important update on admissions.

UBC Pharm Sci

“As many of you are aware, we sent out a round of admission offers last week and this week. Everyone who received an offer of admission will have until June 2nd to accept or decline their offer of admission. This means that offers will continue to roll out slowly over the next few weeks, as we wait for responses from our applicants. We will notify all applicants of their status (admit, refuse or waitlist) as soon as we are able and we appreciate your patience. We know it is hard to wait!

For those of you who have received an offer of admission, the Undergraduate Admissions Office is currently working on confirming your offers. Once they have reviewed your final transcripts and are able to confirm your offer, they will update your status on the SSC and you will be able to accept your offer and pay your deposit. If you do not intend to accept your offer, we would appreciate it if you could notify us immediately so that we can offer your spot to another applicant. Offers that have not been accepted by June 2nd will be given to other applicants”.

-Jennifer Chatterton, Director, Student Services

Congratulations on the students who have already accepted their admission into UBC Pharm Sci. Patience and good luck to those still awaiting their admission. Feel free to shoot us a tweet @UBCPharmacy, and we would love to congratulate you on admission!

Student Services Update – Admissions Process

This week, Jennifer Chatterton, Director of UBC Pharm Sci’s Student Services, has an important update on admissions.

Visit the Official Blog regularly for updates from Student Services.

The admissions process continues! We would like to confirm that our interviews will be held over the weekend of May 3rd and 4th, 2014. At this time, the Admissions Office should have received all of your transcripts and we should have received all of your PCAT scores. We are expecting the list of admission averages from the Undergraduate Admissions Office sometime this week. This means that we will be shortlisting our interview candidates very soon.

Please make sure that you check your email frequently, as we will contact shortlisted candidates via email to invite them for an interview. If you have not heard from us, please also check your junk mail folder. If you are invited for an interview, we will let you know the date and time that we are requesting that you attend. If you have a conflict and cannot make this time, please notify us. Please note: all candidates will be notified of whether or not they are being invited to interview via email.
