Organizing “First Fridays” Lunch-and-Learns with the Vice-President’s Research & Innovation Office
First Fridays is a monthly lunch-and-learn series that offers the UBC research development community an opportunity to discuss cross-cutting themes in their work. It was my responsibility within the organizing team to approach potential speakers, help them refine their topic for our audience, and craft their promotional material. To aid with mailing and stakeholder relations, I also constructed a participant database using the UBC Administrative Directory.
