I've locked your grad lounge

by Bev Godard

Good morning, I think it may be a good idea to leave the grad lounge locked. Someone was in there today that didn't belong...this person was not a grad student and not from our department but wanted to use the fridge etc.. This is your lounge and it has been nicely renovated... others may not care about keeping it that way. Thanks, Bev -- Bev Godard Secretary Department of Plant Science University of Manitoba 66 Dafoe Road Winnipeg, Manitoba R3T 2N2 Phone: (204) 474-8563 Fax: (204) 474-7528 Bev_Godard(a)umanitoba.ca

The first award will be offered in 2005.

Application forms will be made available from the Office of the Dean in the Faculty of Agricultural and Food Sciences.
