Early this academic year she took the lead in coordinating existing student positions in the department to form a more cohesive and unified voice for graduate students. In her role as co-president of the Psychology Graduate Student Council (PGSC), Liz has been incredibly effective at organizing the graduate students, and has spearheaded numerous department-wide student meetings both for establishing the council but also to facilitate feedback on both the external department review and the open faculty position. She accomplished this with little existing supports and spent a great deal of time and effort reaching out to students across various streams and at various points in their degree progress. Liz has lead by example in promoting a professional, action-oriented setting and has inspired other students to be engaged in the decisions affecting their student experience. This has been reflected in the diverse contributions of students and other council members to various initiatives in which they may not have otherwise felt comfortable to volunteer.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_testimonial][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=&#8221;1_2,1_2&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.17.6&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_2&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.17.6&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_gallery gallery_ids=&#8221;592,539,635,636,634,633,632,659,658,657,656,655&#8243; fullwidth=&#8221;on&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.17.6&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; auto=&#8221;on&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_gallery][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_2&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.17.6&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_blurb title=&#8221;Community Service (selected) &#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.17.6&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p>2018 &#8211; 2022: Dog Walker and Dog Foster \u2013 BC SPCA*<\/p>\n<p>2019 &#8211; 2020: Event Volunteer \u2013 BC SPCA*<\/p>\n<p>2019 &#8211; 2020: Volunteer Coordinator \u2013 BC SPCA*<\/p>\n<p>* <em>Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals<\/em><\/p>\n<p>2011 &#8211; 2020: Environmental Campaign Coordinator \u2013 various organizations<br \/>-Event coordination, communications\/promotions, presentations to media, public, &amp; government<\/p>\n<p>2012 &#8211; 2014: Committee Member \u2013 Cosmetic Pesticide Ban Manitoba<\/p>\n<p>2012 &#8211; 2013: Committee Member \u2013 50by30 Manitoba, renewable energy advocacy<\/p>\n<p>2011: Volunteer Coordinator &#8211; Federal Election Campaign, Prince Rupert BC<\/p>\n<p>2004 \u2013 2007: President &#8211; Manitoba Whitewater Club, Winnipeg MB<\/p>\n<p>2006: Campaign Volunteer &#8211; Civic Election Campaign, Winnipeg MB<\/p>\n<p>1994 &#8211; 2000: Volunteer &#8211; Habitat For Humanity Winnipeg, MB<\/p>\n<p>1998 &#8211; 1999: Co-founder\/Coordinator &#8211; Human Rights\/Environmental Group (High School), Winnipeg, MB<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_blurb][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Professional Activities and&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8630,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"on","_et_pb_old_content":"Details to come","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-556","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/onlineacademiccommunity.uvic.ca\/lizwilliams\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/556","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/onlineacademiccommunity.uvic.ca\/lizwilliams\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/onlineacademiccommunity.uvic.ca\/lizwilliams\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/onlineacademiccommunity.uvic.ca\/lizwilliams\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/8630"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/onlineacademiccommunity.uvic.ca\/lizwilliams\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=556"}],"version-history":[{"count":15,"href":"https:\/\/onlineacademiccommunity.uvic.ca\/lizwilliams\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/556\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":761,"href":"https:\/\/onlineacademiccommunity.uvic.ca\/lizwilliams\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/556\/revisions\/761"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/onlineacademiccommunity.uvic.ca\/lizwilliams\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=556"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
