Fall 2019 TA/TM Day + Social!

Friday, September 6th will be the 34th Annual Fall TA/TM Day at the SFU Burnaby campus. Presented in collaboration with Centre for Educational Excellence, TA/TM Day is a perfect opportunity to learn more about your TA or TM responsibilities, develop your teaching skills, grab a free lunch, and get a handle on the particularities of teaching at SFU!

All TA/TM Day sessions are free to TSSU members, and no registration is required. More importantly, all members are entitled to up to 6 hours of paid professional development time per appointment. So make sure to keep track of those TA/TM Day hours!
