Please note that this page details information from a previous year’s summer studentship Program. View the CBR Summer Studentship Program 2023 page.Please note:
During the program, students will work on a defined research project with a UBC supervisor, participate in professional development programming, and present their research at our CBR Research Day. You will benefit from research skill workshops, career development seminars, complementary social events and more, all while expanding your knowledge and experience in active research. To make sure that all students can get the most out of this year’s program, all events and workshops will be available in a hybrid virtual and in-person format except for the Career Panel which will be strictly virtual. Please carefully read the program expectations and review the schedule below. Make sure you lock these dates and times into your calendar so that you can guarantee your attendance. Interacting with speakers, networking with other students, and asking questions directly is the best way to get the most out of these sessions. Summer Studentship holders:

Yes, please register for Research Day so we can have accurate numbers for attendance and food ordering. No, you do not need to present everything that you’ve done over the summer. We’re looking for quality of storytelling over quantity of data! Remember to think about the key message(s) that you'd like your audience to take away from your presentation, and don't overwhelm the audience with data overload. If you’d like, you could verbally mention that you’ve worked on a number of projects over the summer, but for this event, you’re going to focus on one specific project. It’s okay to not have any results for your project—that’s part of the research process! Keep in mind that your Research Day presentation is not about showing how much data you have, but sharing your research project as a compelling story. Think about the key message(s) that you'd like your audience to take away from your presentation. Want to get to know your fellow summer students? Curious about their research? Learn more about them!
