The Steward: January 2010
A shout out to the undergrads
Welcome all undergraduate TAs! As your undergrad Exec Committee member I want to first of all show my appreciation for your hard work and dedication to the educational advancement of undergraduate students in UBC. Second, I want to remind you that your membership affords you many benefits and that you can always count of us as your resource for information and support. Third, I want to encourage you to participate as Exec members so you can voice your thoughts and concerns to better represent undergraduate TA’s issues in our upcoming bargaining process. Through this message to you, I would like to make sure that each of you understands that you are a very important part of the educational process and we care deeply for your betterment and your concerns.
This is my third year as a UTA at UBC and I have learned much and gained invaluable experience that has helped me to achieve many goals. This year I decided to become involved in the Executive Committee in order to show my appreciation for the outstanding representation from Local 2278. It is my sincere hope that you can gain as much satisfaction as I have and that you can also be an important part of the CUPE Local 2278, especially during this crucial time of collective bargaining preparation. Once again, welcome and may you find as much satisfaction in your TA experience as I have.
Lily Liang
Undergraduate Representative
