Congratulations to Johanna Mickelson, who received a 2024-2025 Killam Graduate Teaching Assistant Award.
The Killam Graduate Teaching Assistant Award is presented each year to graduate students who have made outstanding contributions to teaching and learning at UBC.
“I’m truly honored to receive the Killam TA Award. Supporting and engaging with undergraduate students has been one of the most rewarding parts of my journey as a graduate student. I love helping students better understand the material and feel genuinely supported, and I look forward to continuing this work in the future.”
Johanna Mickelson is a PhD student in Counselling Psychology at the University of British Columbia. She received the Killam Graduate Teaching Award in recognition of the dedication and commitment that she has shown our students and for contributing to teaching excellence at UBC.
In recognition of the valuable role that Graduate Teaching Assistants (GTAs) play in our programs, UBC annually honours GTAs with the Killam Graduate Teaching Assistant Award. Up to 19 winners are selected each spring. Successful candidates have met criteria that demonstrate teaching excellence and a high level of esteem for the candidate from undergraduate students and supervisors.
