Grad Student Office Schedule Changes + Request an Office
by Sonia Wilson 03 Feb '21

03 Feb '21

Hello Plant Science Students, Attached is the current grad student office schedule. As shared in fall, the schedule is made and approved so we can follow the Plant Science building occupancy limits. To make changes to the schedule and/or request an office, please read below: 1. If you already have access to the PS building for the times you would like to use your office: * If you would like to make changes to your timeslot or shift slots with someone, please contact them, come to an agreement, and then email me (cc the other person to confirm they are aware) * If you would like to request evening/weekend slots, please email me * (new students) If you would like to request an office, please email me 1. If you do not currently have access to the PS building at all (or for the times you would like to use your office) and would like to request time slots and/or an office, please contact your supervisor first for times that you can access the building, and then email me so that we can arrange with the schedule. My email is wilson44(a)myumanitoba.ca. Once everyone has emailed their changes and requests, I will send the schedule/requests for approval and share the approved updates. Have a great Tuesday, Sonia
