All GAPS Meeting with new Ombudsperson Grace Wong-Sneddon (+PIZZA!)

[Gaps]

Graduate students and postdoctoral fellows at TRIUMF,


In complement to our revised HR Policy 13 – Workplace Bullying and Harassment, we would like to formally introduce the role of TRIUMF Ombudsperson, Dr. Grace Wong-Sneddon. Grace has been a long-time consulting member of the EDI committee and has extensive experience in equity and inclusion work.


To introduce Grace more formally to graduate students and postdoctoral fellows at TRIUMF, we have organized a hybrid meeting with Grace on Friday, April 12, 12pm-1pm in the MOB Auditorium. For those who want to attend in person, GAPS will be providing pizza! Yay in person events! If you plan on joining in person, please let us know your pizza preferences: https://forms.office.com/r/JVNCf666ug


Grace will be at TRIUMF in person on that day, but if you would like to join remotely, please use the following credentials:
