Nominate colleagues for service to students

The UBC Campus Advisory Board on Student Development (CABSD) is recognizing exceptional contributions or significant improvements to the student experience and learning environment.

The awards categories are: Helen McCrae Award for a service for students provided by the Alma Mater Society, Graduate Student Society or UBC; the Margaret Fulton Award for an individual; the Alfred Scow Award for an undergraduate program or department; and the Peter Larkin Award for a graduate program or department.

Winners of these annual awards receive a plaque.

Nominations will be accepted from UBC students, faculty and staff and recent graduates until Feb. 15. They should be directed to the Office of the Vice-President, Students, Room 123, Old Administration building, 6328 Memorial Rd.

Award winners will be announced March 15 and will be honoured at a special ceremony.

CABSD's mission is to understand and address student needs and concerns. This committee advises the vice-president, Students, on a broad range of student development issues.
