In response to the pandemic, in 2020 UBC launched Maximizing Impact, a program to engage early-career researchers/faculty in maximizing the impact of their academic endeavours.
Created by Dr. Naznin Virji-Babul as Senior Advisor to the Provost, Women and Gender-Diverse Faculty, the program invites non-tenured faculty members at the level of Assistant Professor, to take part in a program that provides networking opportunities, lunch-and-learn sessions with thoughtful and engaging speakers, and group and/or 1:1 leadership coaching.
See the cohort pages for more information on the year's programming:
