Irving K. Barber Learning Centre 10th Anniversary Exhibitions

Ten years ago, the Irving K. Barber Learning Centre (IKBLC) celebrated its grand opening on UBC’s Vancouver campus. As a technology-forward place of learning, the four-story building is a focal point of education for students and researchers and has become an innovative fixture on campus.

In celebration of this 10-year milestone, UBC Library is installing two temporary exhibitions on Levels 1 and 2 of IKBLC.

The Irving K. Barber Learning Centre 10th Anniversary exhibitions are on display from August 27 through October 30, 2018.

Mentoring (for Senior TAs)

This workshop is meant for senior TAs who will be serving, formally or informally, as mentors for other TAs in their department. During the workshop, you will focus on developing specific mentoring skills. The early part of the day will focus on setting up the mentoring relationship, and the latter part of the day will focus on 3 core mentoring skills – feedback, reflection, and skill modeling. The training is highly intensive, and to take part, participants will need to commit to being present for the entire duration of the workshop.
