Let’s give a huge round of applause to the students who earned their spot on this prestigious team, selected based on their outstanding performance in last year’s FHNS-GSA Quiz Competition: Graduate Students: * Zainab Husain * Kofi Oduro Undergraduate Students: * Amadou Diarra * Kieren Pothman This remarkable accomplishment wouldn’t have been possible without the incredible support of Dr. Nandika Bandara, the primary advisor for the University of Manitoba IFTSA chapter, and Dr. Cristina Rosell, Head of the Department of Food and Human Nutritional Sciences, along with our amazing support staff. We’re deeply grateful for their mentorship and guidance! We’re beyond proud of our team and all the hard work they’ve put into preparing for this competition. Let’s rally behind them and cheer them on as they compete at UBC – we can’t wait to see them shine and represent our department and the University of Manitoba on this big stage! Let’s show our team some love and support as they take on this incredible challenge. Go team, go! 🙌 Warmest regards, Chamali Kodikara PhD Student/Department of Food and Human Nutritional Sciences Vice-President of Competitions, Institute of Food Technologists Students Association (IFTSA)

Materials for Can U demos.
by Jessica Rutherford 10 Feb '25

10 Feb '25

Hello MAHN Students, For those of you participating in the Can U demos tomorrow and Wednesday, please see the attached timelines. The Can U facilitators will have printed copies available. Also, the Can U team asked if there is anyone available to help assemble supplies at 4;45 that would be helpful since they will not have the facilitators attending this session. I understand that many of you will be coming from placement so if you are not able to make it to early, that is understandable. I will be arriving early to help them assemble and set up as needed.
