ICS Event: From Campus to Career: Strategies for Success in the Canadian Workplace

In response to international students’ career needs, International Centre for Students  and Career Services Office will host an online event From Campus to Career: Strategies for Success in the Canadian Workplace on Thursday, December 4, 2025 to guide international students’ transition out of University and into the workforce. International students should attend this session if they are an upper-year or recent graduates holding a post-graduation work permit.

I have attached some digital signage, which you are welcome to use when promoting this session to your international students.

Session details

——————————————————————————————————————————————————————————-

On November 27 and December 2, the International Centre for Students and The Law Centre are collaborating to host two tenant rights sessions tailored to international students. We’d appreciate your support circulating this information to any students that may benefit from attending. Details below and poster attached.

Tenant Rights Information Sessions

Co-hosted by the International Centre for Students and The Law Centre

In these two sessions, law students from The Law Centre will explore important information about tenant rights for international students. The sessions will cover the full range of experiences a student renter may have in BC, from starting a tenancy to ending one. They will provide useful information on tenancy agreements, the Residential Tenancy Act, and resolving housing disputes. Whether you are currently renting or planning to live off campus in the future, prepare yourself by learning more about your rights and responsibilities.

Session 1 details: Starting a Tenancy and Tenancy Agreements

Session 2 details: During and Ending a Tenancy

If you have any questions about these sessions, please feel welcome to reach out to the ICS at icsinfo@uvic.ca.

UVIC AI Study Student Recruitment Request

Good afternoon, 

You are receiving this email because you are student who takes courses at the University of Victoria and are eligible to participate in the Artificial Intelligence in Teaching and Learning Survey at the University of Victoria. The goal of this study is to learn about students’ experiences with generative artificial intelligence (AI) as it relates to learning and post-secondary education to date. We seek to examine the concerns students have, the extent to which students have implemented AI in their assignments or activities, how students are using AI for learning, and any potential benefits or risks students foresee for their learning.  

Participation in our online survey will take approximately 10 to 15 minutes. This study is being conducted by Assistant Teaching Professors: Drs. Jill Robinson, Jessica Rourke, and Jhotisha Mugon at the University of Victoria. This study has been approved by the ethics board at the University of Victoria (Approval #25-0343).  

Your participation in this research is completely voluntary and would be greatly appreciated. Results from this study are intended to inform pedagogical practices and recommendations for teaching in higher education amidst AI. If you do decide to participate, you may withdraw at any time by closing your internet browser without any penalties or explanation. If you withdraw partway through the study and have not submitted your responses, your data will not be used. If you have submitted your responses, it will be logistically impossible to remove your data as the survey responses are anonymously submitted. You may be compensated with SONA credit if you are taking a course with SONA requirements, but you must sign up for this study through SONA if you require credits.  

The Qualtrics survey link is attached below. We will be collecting data throughout the late Fall and early Spring 2025 semester. If you have any questions regarding the research ethics approval of this study, please contact the Human Research Ethics Office at the University of Victoria (250-472-4545 or ethics@uvic.ca). If you have other questions, please reach out to Dr. Jill Robinson: jillrobinson@uvic.ca, Dr. Jhotisha Mugon: jmugon@uvic.ca, or Dr. Jessica Rourke: jrourke@uvic.ca.
