Hi!

As you may have heard, graduate students in our department (us!) will  
be hosting the 28th Annual Plant Science Graduate Student Symposium  
this winter! It will be a 2-day conference with Plant Science grad  
students from the U of Saskatchewan, North Dakota State University,  
the U of Minnesota, and our university.

Sarah Braman and I have been elected to organize the symposium.  
However, we need your help! There are plenty of opportunities to get  
involved in the organisation of the symposium: plan social events,  
help with the fundraising, organize the closing ceremony, organize the  
symposium itself, etc.

If you are interested in helping with the organization, please come to  
our 1st meeting! The symposium organizing committee (only Sarah and I,  
so far) will have its 1st meeting this Thursday, October 27th, at 2pm,  
in room 218.

Participate, don't be shy! :) Feel free to email me if you have any questions.
