Subject: Registration for 2015-2016
Importance: High
Hello all,
Registration for Fall 2015 and Winter 2016 begins July 20.
You may have heard that the procedure for registration has changed. You will now register yourselves.
A registration approval form is attached. This form is used to list the courses you will be taking in both Fall 2015 and Winter 2016, and to obtain approval for registering for these courses from your advisor. Please complete the form, and bring it or email it to me so that I can remove the "block" on your registration. Once the block is removed, you will be able to go into the Aurora Registration System and register yourself. Online registration tutorials are available at http://umanitoba.ca/student/records/tutorial/index.html . Please feel free to stop by my office (location below) anytime if you would like me to show you how to register.
I encourage you to register early, especially if you are registering for courses with limited enrolment.
I look forward to meeting and working with all of you. My door is always open.

All,
Thanks for sharing your ideas this morning. I have attached the white
board photos along with a summary. Let me know if I have overlooked
anything.
I will schedule a followup meeting for early September. In the meantime,
please consult with Rob Ellis and/or Mario Tenuta for specific information
on available equipment and space.
I look forward to seeing how everything has evolved.
Paul

Effective September 1, 2013, the university will only use your UofM email account for all communications, including messages from your professors, department, advisors and administrative offices.
All Soil Science graduate students,
I am contacting you to participate in a CanU Academy in Agri-Food Science.
The attachment provides a brief description.
I met with a young lady from Human Nutritional Sciences who is acting as a
point person for lining up the various modules and I had a good discussion
with her. Apparently, there is already a Grade 6 and/or 7 CanU academy, so
they are trying to expand it to include school age kids a year older. They
are targeting agri-food and using a pizza as a central theme so they can
incorporate all of the various ag faculty departments in figuring out the
where all the ingredients originate. I thought it was a neat way to pull
it all together.
The Departments of Soil Science and Plant Science would share Module 2
which runs on Oct 15 and 22 from 5:00 to 7:30 p.m. on both days. For Soil
Science specifically, I discussed 3 potential topic areas we could cover;
Soil Physical properties, Soil Ecology, Soil and Surface water. For the
latter, I was specifically thinking about Mitch Timmerman's demonstration
kit with the different soils, different sources of runoff and different
residue covers. I saw it when I was on the MSSS tour. I have sent Mitch
an email and I am waiting to hear from him. Mario has since made a
suggestion that perhaps we could figure out how many of the various
nutrients are contained in a 100 pizzas. Then, we could follow the
nutrients through the soil. This would work well with Mitch's
demonstration, if he is available.
On Oct 15 and 22, they would like to split the participants (40 kids, 4
chaperones) into 2 groups. Half would come to Soil Science on Oct 15 and
the other half the following week (that is 20 kids each week). I thought
we could set up the first 2 modules in the Ellis Building teaching labs and
have Mitch's station set up in the equipment shed. That would mean that on
each day, there would be 3 groups of 6 to 7 kids, each spending about 45
minutes at each station.
I would like to engage all of the Soil Science graduate students in this
exericise. First, I would like some of you to work with Rob Ellis and
Mario Tenuta to develop the first 2 modules. Then, I want to involve all
the grad students on Oct 8, 5:00 to 7:30 for a "dry run" (i.e. have some of
the grad students play the part of the high school kids who will be coming
the following 2 weeks). Mitch would probably also want a graduate student
to work with him at his station.
Lynda has booked Room 346 for Monday, Aug 17 at 1:30 p.m., so we can all
meet to start getting organized for this academy.
Would you please put this on your calendar and plan to attend. Some of you
have previous experience working with school kids and we would appreciate
your advice and input. All of you are creative people with great ideas.
So, everyone can contribute.
Thanks,
Paul
