Subject: 27th Annual Plant Science Graduate Students Symposium
Date: Mon, 24 Jan 2011 14:30:09 -0600
From: umwie243(a)cc.umanitoba.ca
To: Bev Godard <Bev_Godard(a)umanitoba.ca>
Hey Guys!
If any of you were interested in attending the 27th Annual Plant Science
Graduate Student's Symposium at the University of Saskatchewan (March
25-26th) this year there is still time to register! Next year it will be
our turn to host the symposium and the host students go to a lot of
trouble to organize everything so the least we can do is show up! It
also should be a lot of fun and a good opportunity to meet other plant
science grad students. For new students it is a great chance to gain
experience while presenting to your peers.
I have attached the registration form for your convenience. You should
have also received previous emails with additional information. If you
have any questions just let me know!
Cheers,
Laura
