Leadership Team

Susan Porter

Something I’m very proud of (although was a team effort rather than a personal accomplishment) is the growth of professional development opportunities for graduate students and postdoctoral fellows at UBC. Linked to this is the growing conversation around broadening conceptions of a PhD, which I’m really excited to be contributing to.

Julian Dierkes

We try to include all the different approaches to graduate education and postdoctoral fellowships that can be found across such a varied campus and landscape of disciplines, research methodologies and personalities.

Rachel Fernandez

In addition to serving our students and postdocs, we also serve our faculty. We offer best practices for graduate student supervision, we uphold UBC policies surrounding graduate education, we embrace scholarship in all its forms, and we are data-driven.

Theresa Rogers

We are a vital unit on a campus that concerns itself with providing the highest quality academic experience.

Larry Walker

Students should know that G+PS exists to promote student success and that the leadership team and staff work diligently to make that happen.
