Peter B.E. McVetty Plant Breeding Scholarship in the Department of Plant Science
The purpose of this scholarship is to recognize students who have achieved academic excellence in a Master's or Ph.D. program in plant breeding in the Department of Plant Science at the University of Manitoba. One or more scholarships will be offered to graduate students who:
* are enrolled full-time in their second year of a Master's program, or in their second or third year of a Ph.D. program in plant breeding in the Department of Plant Science at the University of Manitoba;
* have achieved a minimum grade point average of 3.5 (or equivalent) based on the last 60 credit hours of study;
* have demonstrated achievement in plant breeding research applicable to the Canadian Prairies.
Applications should be submitted to Martha.Blouw(a)umanitoba.ca<mailto:Martha.Blouw@umanitoba.ca> and must include:
* A covering letter describing: a) the status and progress of the applicant's research program and coursework; b) the value of the applicant's research project to cultivar development in the Canadian Prairies;

Subject: Weekend Waterer Position!
Hello Susan and Martha,
Just wondering if one of you could circulate to the grad students that l am looking to fill a weekend waterer position. Younyoung Lee and Jia Sun have shared this position for the last couple of years, alternating weekends and holidays. Younyoung Lee is leaving on February 11th . . . . so l am looking for someone to take her place. Very flexible schedule, 3 1/2-hour shifts.
Thank you, Cathy Bay
