I co-organized with a couple of fellow graduate students the graduate student seminars at SGSA, Department of Statistics, UBC.
We organized and scheduled seminar sessions, ensuring they aligned with the academic calendar and accommodate guest speakers and attendees.
We invited and coordinated with guest speakers, faculty members, and fellow students, handling communication and logistical arrangements.
We created promotional materials and announcements to raise awareness of upcoming seminars, utilizing departmental email lists, social media, and bulletin boards.
We selected relevant topics and themes for seminars based on current research trends, student interests, and department goals.
We ensured all necessary technology (e.g., projectors, microphones, virtual meeting platforms) was available and functioning for each seminar.
We moderated the seminars, guiding discussions, and encouraging participation from attendees to foster an interactive environment.
We gathered feedback from participants after each seminar to assess the effectiveness of the sessions and made improvements for future events.
We maintained records of seminar topics, speakers, attendance, and feedback to help with planning future seminars and reporting to the department.
We created opportunities for networking among students, faculty, and guest speakers, fostering connections and collaborations within the department.
