Random Acts of Recognition
Congratulations to Random Acts of Recognition recipient:
Wayne Tamagi who always come with a (calm) smile to help Faculty members who are in despair with computer related issues. No matter how severe the issues are, Wayne somehow gets things to work in no 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. |

Tech Tip Tuesday – Syncing MS Teams Files on OneDrive
You can sync your MS Teams files from your channels and chats to your OneDrive account to have them accessible on your device. To sync, open MS Teams and navigate to a channel or a chat. Select “Files” from your pinned tabs. Click on the “Sync” button on the Action Bar. MS Teams will start the syncing process by connecting to your OneDrive desktop sync client. This should create a new folder under the path C:\Users\<user_profile>\UBC and is synced with OneDrive.

Nov. 29 – Equity Enhancement Fund
As part of UBC’s commitment to advancing equity and inclusion across its campuses, faculty and staff are invited to submit a proposal to the Equity Enhancement Fund for projects that are responsive to community needs and advance one or more of the actions outlined in UBC’s Inclusion Action Plan.
Proposed projects should seek to build more inclusive environments, develop faculty and staff competencies related to issues of equity, diversity, and inclusion, and should deliver observable benefits to the representation and/or experiences of equity-deserving groups within the UBC community. Proposals by faculty and staff that focus on student inclusion are also eligible for funding.
Deadline to submit a proposal is November 29.
For more information, to learn about previously funded projects, and to submit a proposal, visit equity.ubc.ca/eef.
If you have questions regarding this fund or equity and inclusion in general, contact eef@equity.ubc.ca. |
