Hello Plant Science,
We are happy to announce “a PSGSA Christmas” clothing sale – featuring the modern (but retro-inspired) logo designed by our very own graduate student council!
The sale is open until Thursday, November 30th! Gifts for yourself, or for a friend 🎄
With many thanks to our friends in FASO, we’re featuring 7 cozy items on the U of M Aggies Clothing website (https://uofmaggies.ca/store/) including newly designed hoodies, featuring an alternate version of our logo!
Our custom apparel is produced in collaboration with Source for Sports Pembina, the same reliable producer as U of M Aggies apparel.
We hope that all members of the department, including graduate students, postdocs, technicians, administration, professors, and all friends and family can enjoy wearing Plant Science proudly 🌱
All proceeds go towards future PSGSA events and resources for the Department of Plant Science.
Thank you!
