2019-20 Killam Graduate Teaching Assistant (GTA) Awards
In recognition of the valuable role that teaching assistants play in our undergraduate programs, the university annually awards sixteen Killam Graduate Teaching Awards to UBC Teaching Assistants. The Killam GTA Award includes a certificate and $1,000.00. The sixteen awards, given annually, reinforce the important message to students (both undergraduate and graduate) that UBC values teaching and seeks to recognize teaching excellence within our institution.
Eligibility:
The award is open to any Graduate Teaching Assistant who acts or has acted in this position during the current and/or preceding academic year (2019/20, 2018/19).

Each graduate program may then forward one nomination package to the Dean’s office for consideration.
