Overview
The Office of the Provost and Vice-President Academic is providing $40,000 until June 2024 to support undergraduate students involved in funded SaP projects to disseminate outcomes from those projects. Funds are managed and adjudicated by the Centre for Teaching Learning and Technology.
The fund supports dissemination of SaP project work including the sharing of results from course design/re-design work with audiences, to contribute to students’ professional development.
Recipients may be invited to contribute to SaP activities at UBC in order to build capacity in the field. These contributions may include being involved in a professional development workshop or lunch and learn, participating as a panelist in an SaP event, etc.
