Dear fellow graduate students,

As most of you are aware, the Plant Science Graduate Student Association (PSGSA) will be hosting the 34th Annual Plant Science Graduate Student Symposium at the University of Manitoba in Winnipeg, MB on March 16-17, 2018.

The theme for this year’s symposium is “Cultivating the Field of Big Data”. The event will host student presentations, 3-4 keynote speakers, a panel discussion and a variety of networking events. We are inviting graduate students from the University of Manitoba, University of Saskatchewan, North Dakota State University as well as other neighboring universities in Canada and the United States.

We highly encourage fellow graduate students to attend the upcoming symposium as this event will be a great opportunity to improve research skills, share ideas, and expand our network among graduate students.

Please visit website www.psgsa-uofm.comhttp://www.psgsa-uofm.com/ for details and updates for the schedule and speakers. The deadline for event registration is 2nd Feb 2018 and abstract submission is 23rd Feb 2018. Please follow the link on the website for registration and abstract submission.

We highly appreciate fellow students for volunteering in different organizing sub-committees. We still require lots of hands for successful hosting of symposium. If you are interested in volunteering on one of the sub-committees, or helping on the days of the symposium, please let us know, as we are always looking for extra volunteers!

If you have any questions, feel free to contact us.

Sincerely,
