This Community of Practice operates on a mix of events planned in advance, and events decided on by the community.

The New Faculty Community of Practice is co-facilitated by a group of three faculty members with years of experience teaching in the Faculties of Arts and Science at UBC.
- Luisa Canuto teaches in French, Hispanic and Italian Studies. In 2000 she was awarded the UBC Killam Teaching Prize. She has also successfully applied for a number of teaching funding opportunities (TLEF and ARTS Innovation Funds) to bring innovations to her courses and add new ones.
- Joanne Fox is a faculty member with the educational facilities of the Michael Smith Laboratories and the Department of Microbiology and Immunology, and directed and helped to develop the Faculty of Science first year seminar, Science 113. She was awarded the UBC Killam Teaching Prize in 2013.
