Hi all,
It appears that the faculty is still short 3 volunteer ushers for Convocation next week. The dean indicated that this is part of normal academic duties and would like to see these spots filled as quickly as possible. I realize this is not the best time for those of us still seeding.
Thank you all for considering.
Rob

Caution: This message was sent from outside the University of Manitoba.
I am writing to apply for the position of a Research Associate. I have expertise in using plant breeding skills in adapting and improving crops to varying climatic stress, biotic stress and better nutritional qualities. I am skilled in hybrid/ varietal development and evaluation, multi-location trials, as well as scientific and technical report writing. With my experience as a Plant Breeder and also as a PhD Research Fellow at International Institute of Tropical Agriculture (IITA), I possess a comprehensive skill set and hands-on training necessary to affect positive, overreaching outcomes in this role.
In addition to my formal training as a Plant Breeder and Geneticist, I have expertise in statistical analysis and data management, molecular biology, bioinformatics and grantsmanship. I am also versatile in participatory plant breeding, and community-based research. My crave for excellence has been defined early in life where I followed my successes in High School with a First-Class grade in Bachelor of Agriculture and ranked top in my MSc and PhD. These and other experiences furnished me with the capacity to conduct innovative and impactful research either independently or collaboratively. I am well acquainted with skills and expertise required for phenotyping, quantitative genetics, bioinformatics, tissue culture, cryopreservation, biometrics, physiology, husbandry to mention but a few. Also, I am a good communicator, time manager and capable of thriving in multicultural environments.
The attached resume provides further detail about how my qualifications and background are a perfect match for this position. I am open to learning and using new skill sets, expertise and strategies necessary for this role. Also, I am available as a Permanent Resident in Canada, and willing to resume work as soon as necessary. I look forward to discussing more about this opportunity and how I can excel in this role.
I appreciate you for taking time to review my credentials and experience.
Sincerely,
LAWAL, OLUWAFEMI OLUWATOSIN Ph.D.

Hi Emily,
The Faculty is currently running a high school internship where students get to work in the greenhouse for four weeks. I've had a student inquire about working in Plant Science over her summer break? Do you know if anyone is hiring a high school student for the summer?
Thanks

Good morning,
Parking Pass Clarification:
We've been getting a couple of requests for parking passes for Department fleet vehicles. These already have passes in place till August 31st, at which time I will extend the parking passes for another year.
You will only need to request parking passes for rental vehicles.
Thank you,
Amanda

Subject: Vehicle Rental Process
Good afternoon all :)
I've been reminded that it is Vehicle Rental time for some groups.
We've gathered some information regarding the vehicle rental process so I thought I would share. Some of this is old news to you and if so, just treat this as a reminder ;)
Obtaining a rental vehicle:
1. You will need to go on Enterprise's website and get a quote. The quote should include the dates of the rental (pick up and return) and the make and model of your preferred vehicle.
**Please keep in mind that the cost on the quote will be significantly higher than University pricing**.
2. Send your quote along with an purchase requisition to psorders(a)umanitoba.ca<mailto:psorders@umanitoba.ca> . The order desk will then create a PO using University pricing and send it to Enterprise.
Picking up your rental:
1. Rental vehicles are covered under the University insurance policy and therefore the insurances that Enterprise wants to charge should be declined.
Once you have picked up your rental:
1. Please send an email to psorders(a)umanitoba.ca<mailto:psorders@umanitoba.ca> with the make & model of the vehicle along with the license plate number to arrange the following:
a) Gas Cards:
- Gas cards are for Red River Co-Op (St. Norbert).
- Gas cards are registered to the vehicle, so they are to remain in the vehicle and cannot be used to put gas in another.
- Gas cards are available in the General Office once we have the information requested.
- I also use the information to allow access to the UofM fuel pumps located at the back end of Lot E.
b) Parking passes:
- All vehicles on campus (including The Point) MUST have a parking pass.
- There are summer passes available up to (and including) August 31st. Any vehicles to be parked on campus after this date will need to renew for another year. This poses a problem sometimes, so please be mindful of dates in this regard.
- Parking passes will be charged to the PI and is not covered by the University.
- There is a field on the parking pass where we can request a lot that is preferred. The Parking Office will try to accommodate the request, but if not, they will make an alternate suggestion.
I think that's it, however if you have any questions please don't hesitate to contact psorders(a)umanitoba.ca<mailto:psorders@umanitoba.ca>.
Thank you,
Amanda
