Grad students, Message below is for your information. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: John Swystun <jswystun(a)ceomanitoba.ca> Date: Thu, Apr 19, 2018 at 8:08 AM Subject: Wpg's entrepreneurship tour - 2018 Startup Crawl To: Paul Bullock <Paul.Bullock(a)umanitoba.ca> Hi Paul, Congrats on nearing the end of another semester! A student group I work with, CEO Manitoba, is hosting their annual yearly finale, the 2018 Startup Crawl, tomorrow. During the day students and attendeees get to visit the headquarters of exciting startups, find the best spots for resources and funding, and learn about what it takes to start a business in Winnipeg (or what it takes to get hired by a really cool one!). If you think this might be of any value to students (or even faculty members!) in your network, would you be willing to pass on the details? We have a few remaining seats to fill so I thought I would extend the opportunity to the wider UofM community. Details and links to purchase seats can be found on our website at: http://ceomanitoba.ca/suc/ *John Swystun* *VP of Marketing and Communications* *CEO Manitoba* m: 204.583.6561 w: ceomanitoba.ca <http://t.sidekickopen08.com/e1t/c/5/f18dQhb0S7lC8dDMPbW2n0x6l2B9nMJW7t5XZs3…> e: jswystun(a)ceomanitoba.ca <http://t.sidekickopen08.com/e1t/c/5/f18dQhb0S7lC8dDMPbW2n0x6l2B9nMJW7t5XZs3…> <http://t.sidekickopen08.com/e1t/c/5/f18dQhb0S7lC8dDMPbW2n0x6l2B9nMJW7t5XZs3…> <http://t.sidekickopen08.com/e1t/c/5/f18dQhb0S7lC8dDMPbW2n0x6l2B9nMJW7t5XZs3…> -- Dr. Paul Bullock Professor and Head Department of Soil Science University of Manitoba Winnipeg, MB R3T 2N2 Phone: (204) 474-8666 Fax: (204) 474-7642 Email: Paul.Bullock(a)umanitoba.ca <Paul_Bullock(a)umanitoba.ca> Webpage: umanitoba.ca/afs/soil_science/
