Happy new year dear students and postdocs!<br>
<br>
We would like to remind you of the unique opportunity to become
TRIUMF tour guides. <br>
<br>
As you may know, part of TRIUMF's mandate is to be open to the
public through free guided tours of the lab.<br>
These tours also serve TRIUMF's outreach program and the promotion
of science (or STEM) to the general public.<br>
<br>
All graduate students and postdocs at TRIUMF can become tour guides.<br>
Currently, this can be done either voluntarily or for payment on a
per-tour basis<br>
(For some, their contract may prohibit them from receiving such
payment, but the majority of students can get paid for tours).<br>
<br>
Fortunately, the demand for tours is high, however, there is a grave
shortage in tour guides, which forced cutting back the tours and
considering further changes.<br>
<br>
You may consider becoming a tour-guide if you wish to:<br>
- get to know the lab better<br>
- widen your scientific knowledge and proficiency<br>
- improve your confidence and public-speaking skills<br>
- give back to the community<br>
- meet interesting people<br>
- be more involved and stand out<br>
- get recognized for your contribution<br>
- get a break from the usual stuff you do<br>
- be reminded of the impact and importance of what we do<br>
and especially now...<br>
since this is TRIUMF's 50th anniversary, which would bring many
opportunities to contribute.<br>
<br>
<b>For inquiries about becoming a guide</b>, <br>
or <b>if you </b><b><b>are </b>already a tour guide</b> and would
like to help, <br>
please use <a moz-do-not-send="true"

link</a>, or send an email to:<br>
<a moz-do-not-send="true" href="Mailto:jabney@triumf.ca"><u>jabney@triumf.ca</u></a>
with the subject: <b>TRIUMF Ambassadors</b><b><br>
</b><br>
<br>
Finally, we believe that this is an important and unique opportunity
that should be maintained for the benefit of all,<br>
but we want to hear what you think!<br>
We will soon send a short survey that will allow us to help
Strategic Communications assess and ameliorate the situation, but
also to represent your interests in the matter.<br>
Stay tuned!<br>
<br>
<br>
Thank you for your time and cooperation!<br>
<br>
Your GAPS<br>
