You get more out of a course if you actively participate than if you passively observe & listen, so all students in the seminar are encouraged to actively participate in the class discussions. Students are also strongly encouraged to relate the course material to their own lives & experiences. This seminar is open to graduate students and outstanding undergrads. It is open to students in ALL departments – the more diverse the students, the better the course. There will be 2 changes from past years: (1) The reading load will be less, but still very demanding. (2) There will be an experiential component this time – students will go to the Downtown Eastside to learn from parents, community leaders, and youth.Work Opportunities

This summer institute is a result of a collaboration between The Janusz Korczak Association of Canada and UBC’s Faculty of Education, and will explore the educational philosophy and pedagogy of Korczak. The course will be taught by Professor Tatyana Tsyrlia-Spady, an internationally known expert on the life and legacy of Janusz Korczak and faculty member at Seattle Pacific University. The Institute can be taken for credit at the undergraduate level and not for credit for graduate and unclassified students. Attached to this email is the link to the detailed course information. Please feel free to spread the word and share this information with students and faculty members as well as with teachers, school counsellors, administrators, nurses, and paediatricians. This course will also serve as a “call to action” for advancing the cause of child advocacy.
More information on the course and questions about course registration, fees and credit should be directed to http://pdce.educ.ubc.ca/child-advocacy/
G+PS will be presenting our third annual Supervisor Appreciation Week! From May 6-12, we invite UBC graduate students to tell the world about their great supervisors through social media and an online submission form. Graduate students will be invited to offer kudos using #GreatSupervisor #UBC on Twitter and Facebook. For those that prefer, they will also be able to offer their appreciation through this survey: http://ow.ly/uOHi50tAhxQ #GreatSupervisor week started at the University of Calgary in 2014, and we are grateful to them for their inspiration and support in this initiative. Visit grad.ubc.ca/greatsupervisor to see what students said during last year’s Supervisor Appreciation Week.
ISGP PhD Student Denise Fong recently had the opportunity to co-curate an exhibition at the Burnaby Village Museum. The exhibit, named Across the Pacific, is about the relatively unknown or forgotten histories of Chinese Canadians in Burnaby. It explores the history and legacy of Chinese-Canadians in Burnaby since the late 1800s. The exhibit features stories and photographs from some of Burnaby's earliest Chinese farming families. Curated by Burnaby Village Museum’s Lisa Codd and University of British Columbia (UBC) doctoral student Denise Fong, the exhibit evolved from a Community Heritage Commission research project in commemoration of Burnaby’s 125th anniversary in 2017.
Free admission.

Past CGPSS findings have been used to help better understand what the university is doing right, and to inform resource allocation decisions and needed change. You have received a unique link by email to an online questionnaire, which should take approximately 30 minutes to complete. The survey is conducted across Canada every three years and in 2019 UBC has invited 11,000 graduate students across both campuses to contribute their point of view on the graduate experience at UBC. The CGPSS is a great opportunity for students to weigh in on their experience at UBC.

It is a seminar, not a lecture course. You get more out of a course if you actively participate than if you passively observe & listen, so all students in the seminar are encouraged to actively participate in the class discussions. Students are also strongly encouraged to relate the course material to their own lives & experiences. This seminar is open to graduate students and outstanding undergrads. It is open to students in ALL departments – the more diverse the students, the better the course. There will be 2 changes from past years: (1) The reading load will be less, but still very demanding. (2) There will be an experiential component this time – students will go to the Downtown Eastside to learn from parents, community leaders, and youth.Work Opportunities
