The GSS Graduate Coaching program aims to equip graduate students with frameworks and tools to enhance leadership communication. Through practice, in and outside of the classroom, participants will develop a ‘coach approach’ and learn to incorporate these skills into their everyday conversations with peers and colleagues. 

Join us for a Coaching Hybrid Info Session on Wednesday, September 27th, at 5:30 PM at the GSS Loft, or from the comfort of your own space via Zoom!

Please RSVP to secure your spot, and we'll send you the Zoom link and more information closer to the date.

 Sign up to become a GSS Representative on UBC Committees!

Seeing people around campus carrying GSS tote bags? Or maybe you've seen someone sporting a GSS hat or sunglasses on the bus, and wondered how you can get some of this swag. The good news is that you too can get your hands on some GSS swags — and that too for free!
