Hello everyone!
Christmas is coming up and we were hoping to have a couple of holiday related events.
We thought we would do a Secret Santa gift exchange. In case you aren't aware of what Secret Santa is, it is an anonymous gift exchange that involves picking a name out of a hat. You then buy a gift ($10-15 limit) for that person - but you aren't supposed to reveal whose name you have until after the exchange is over. The only names that will be included in the exchange are those who want to participate so we are looking to see who is interested.
If you are interested in taking part in the Secret Santa (or you have more questions) please send an email to either me (swaenepd(a)myumanitoba.ca) or Greg (umbartle(a)myumanitoba.ca?). We will also put a sign-up sheet in the grad lounge. If is there is enough interest we will set a date to meet to draw names.
We are also planning to have a holiday lunch on Friday, December 12th (time to be decided). We are planning to order pizzas or whatever, collecting money from those who are able to come. We will send out more info closer to the date. (This is where the gift exchange will occur).
Please reply if you have interest or questions about the gift exchange!!
Thanks,
Danica
Good Morning,
A pair of glasses/sunglasses were found. See the Plant Science office if they belong to you.

Subject: Reminder: Canada Graduate Scholarships - NSERC, SSHRC & CIHR
Hello everyone,
Please be reminded that the Canada Graduate Scholarships Master's for NSERC, SSHRC & CIHR is due on Monday, December 1st. Please forward this reminder to eligible students and note that they need to submit their application online through the Research Portal. There are no internal deadlines before December 1st and late applications will not be considered.
I received several inquiries regarding transcripts submission for the award. Per the CGSM guidelines, students are to upload scanned copies of their official transcripts. They are also encouraged to retain the envelope in which the transcripts was issued in case they are successful and the hard copy is requested by Ottawa.
If you need further clarification, please do not hesitate to ask.
Thank you
Rowena
