Hello everyone!
I want to remind you of the *Plant Science Graduate Student Symposium*
that will be taking place at *North Dakota State University between
March 12th and 13th*. I have attached the invitation and the
registration for this event.
It would be great if we could all attend this event. It is a great
opportunity to present your research and have some fun with your fellow
students!
The PSGSA will organize travel and accommodation in Fargo. In past
years, the price of travel has been covered by the department. As for
accommodation, the PSGSA will determine if we can cover some of the
cost, but your supervisor can also provide some funding, so this event
will be of little or no cost. We will keep you posted in the new year
about price.
*
If you are interested in going, make sure you have the proper documents
for crossing the border.*
Keep in mind the following deadlines:
*Friday, January 8th, 2010- Registration Deadline*
Friday, February 5th, 2010- Abstract Deadline
Please let me know if you have any questions!
Let's try to round up as many people as possible!
Iris

Hi everybody!
Don't forget the grad student pot luck tomorrow in the grad lounge at
noon! If you can bring something in that's great, but if you don't get a
chance to make or buy something, come to the grad lounge anyway!
see you tomorrow,

Dear Colleagues --
The Judging Panel for Monsanto's Beachel-Borlaug International Scholars
awarded 12 scholarships from 48 applications in the first round of
funding. Nine scholars were in wheat breeding and 3 scholars were in
rice breeding. **Applications for the second round of funding are
being accepted now until February 1, 2010.** Applications for third,
fourth and fifth rounds of funding will need to be submitted
between November 1, 2010, 2011 and 2012 and February 1, 2011, 2012 and

PhD program.
Please note that scholars must complete part of their PhD program

Hello my fellow grad students!
The technicians down at The Point are having a Christmas Party and have
very kindly asked when it would be convenient for the grad students to
come. So, can you please email me your preference for having a party at
the Point:
1) Tues Dec 15
2) Fri Dec 18
3) Mon Dec 21
Please email me by Thursday December 10.
For those of you not familiar with The Point, it is buillding on the
south east part of the campus where some Plant Science technicians work.
They are very lovely people who have a Christmas Party every year. All
you have to do is show up and have fun!
thank you for you help in this survey!
