Help!
 
We're refreshing the ECHA News and we need some bright ideas! All you have to do is provide input on three different designs. We promise it won't take long. 
Sign up here and we'll be in touch with more information.
How do I?


Want to rearrange your office? Have a new staff member who needs prox card access? Are there issues with the AV or IT in your shared meeting room? Unlike other buildings on campus, ECHA has its own processes for many of these requests. This is to make your life easier, and to ensure we are adhering to warranties on furniture and equipment in our spaces. Please contact your ECHA APO or designated contact first. You can find the full list in the menu to the right, and on the ECHA web page here. You can also find information in the ECHA Welcome Guide.  
If you are unable to find the information you need, please contact the ECHA Administration Office, by calling 248.1122, or emailingecha.admin@ualberta.ca.

This event raises students' awareness of, and interest in research through speakers who explore a broad range of research and methods. Students are supported in developing the tools for research through ongoing opportunities for open discussion and increased awareness of essential research components and opportunities. Student engagement in research is fostered through networking, learning necessary research skills, and participation in the Student Poster Presentation.
