Please check out the workshops provided by the Faculty of Graduate Studies. Martha From: gs-suppstaff-contacts-bounces(a)lists.umanitoba.ca [mailto:gs-suppstaff-contacts-bounces@lists.umanitoba.ca] On Behalf Of Archibald McNicol Sent: September-03-14 4:26 PM To: gs-dept-grad-chairs(a)lists.umanitoba.ca; gs-suppstaff-contacts(a)lists.umanitoba.ca Subject: [Gs-suppstaff-contacts] GradSteps Good afternoon everyone As you (hopefully) know, the Faculty of Graduate Studies has launched a non-for credit series of development courses for its students. These courses are designed for students at all stages of their graduate programs, from the beginner working with their advisor or working with library resources, through to help with thesis writing and beyond to the potential marketing of discoveries. These workshops cost nothing to the students, run for 90 minutes or so at lunchtimes and are, for the most part, available on both the Bannatyne and Fort Garry campuses. In addition students attending more at least 6 workshops are eligible for them to added to their co-curricular record, and consequently we ask that students pre-register for the workshops. Information on upcoming workshops will be sent to all students via the weekly newsletter. However, we would appreciate your help in the dissemination of the information about them. For further information please see: http://umanitoba.ca/faculties/graduate_studies/workshops/ If anyone would like to place a link to the workshops on your unit homepage, then please contact me. Many thanks Archie McNicol Associate Dean, Faculty of Graduate Studies Professor, Department of Oral Biology University of Manitoba
