Beyond the proposal – what are the important ingredients for a good application and when should we start working on them?
Facilitator: Dr Amy Metcalfe
Date and time: Monday January 18th, 12:00 – 1:00pm PT
Location: Virtual (Zoom)
Description: Join Dr. Metcalfe for the first in a series of four workshops on the most important ingredients for a good funding application. While many of us focus our attention on writing a compelling proposal, there are many other factors in the process of compiling our application that can dramatically increase our chances of moving to the next stage in the proposal consideration process. Dr. Metcalfe will highlight those factors and suggest some great ways to start thinking of our funding applications as a long-term, dynamic process.
Please RSVP here or contact edst.gaa@ubc.ca with questions.
This workshop is part of the ‘Proposal Writing for Scholarships & Funding’ Workshop Series
About the series: Critical reflections on last year’s application process clarified for us the need among students for more help not just in putting together a high quality application, but also in planning ahead, and understanding all the critical steps involved towards a great application. Consequently, in consultation with Dr Amy Metcalfe, we have organized this workshop series to enrich students’ understanding and skills in this important area.

EDST Student Town Hall Meeting
Date and time: Friday January 22, 7:00 – 8:00pm PT
Location: Virtual (Zoom)
Description: Calling all EDST students! This town hall meeting is organized by the EDST GAAs and the EDST Student Representatives. Communication and connection are a bit more difficult in a virtual department, so we’re starting off the term with an open town hall meeting to share your experiences, concerns, and feedback. We’re looking forward to introducing ourselves and making sure that you know who we are, how we’re representing you, and where you can reach out to within the department for support.
See you there!
Please RSVP here or contact edst.gaa@ubc.ca with questions.
