Attention MCML 249 fridge users

There is a significant ice build-up in the freezer compartment of the fridge that causes the fridge to keep popping open. Therefore, we are organizing a fridge defrost on Wednesday, June 29th. Please ensure you remove your food items by 1pm. Any unclaimed items will be trashed.

The fridge will be back in service at noon on Monday, July 4th. During the defrost, if you require the use of cold storage, please use the lunch room in 370B. Thank you for your cooperation.

If you have any comments/questions, please email us at lfs.facilities@ubc.ca.

Random Acts of Recognition

A huge thank you to Christine Klaray, Bre Jakobsen, Ella Wong and Melody Wang from Student Services for all their hard work during a very busy registration season – addressing advising demands, hosting registration webinars & support sessions, and answering questions daily in the LFS ROOTSS discussion boards. Also, thank you to Roxana Quinde for advising GRS students during this time.

To nominate a faculty member, staff or graduate student that’s been doing an outstanding job or has gone above and beyond in some way, send an email to lfs.recognition@ubc.ca and tell us why this person should be recognized. We’ll send them a $6 Starbucks gift card and acknowledge their good work in LFS Today.

July 8 – ISI Fund – Special Fund for Graduate Research

This one-time-only Special Fund is for graduate-level students to fund research that advances any of the Indigenous Strategic Plan’s (ISP) 43 actions.

This was initiated by the Indigenous Strategic Plan Executive Advisory Committee (ISPEAC) and the Indigenous Strategic Plan Coordinating Committee (ISPCC) following adjudication of the Indigenous Strategic Initiatives (ISI) Fund Stream 3: Student-led Projects.

Graduate students have widely reported a lack of access to funds for on-the-ground, Indigenous community-based research. This one-time-only Special Fund for Graduate Research seeks to fill this gap to temporarily fund unique costs associated with research in this area until a longer-term funding stream can be established.

Application deadline: July 28, 3:00 pm (PDT)

Upcoming information sessions:

Monday, June 27, 2022 from 11:00 – 12:00 pm (PDT)
Tuesday, June 28, 2022 from 2:00 – 3:00 pm (PDT)
