I've locked your grad lounge
by Bev Godard 11 Jan '12

11 Jan '12

Good morning, I think it may be a good idea to leave the grad lounge locked. Someone was in there today that didn't belong...this person was not a grad student and not from our department but wanted to use the fridge etc.. This is your lounge and it has been nicely renovated... others may not care about keeping it that way. Thanks, Bev -- Bev Godard Secretary Department of Plant Science University of Manitoba 66 Dafoe Road Winnipeg, Manitoba R3T 2N2 Phone: (204) 474-8563 Fax: (204) 474-7528 Bev_Godard(a)umanitoba.ca

The first award will be offered in 2005. The fellowship, valued at the available annual income, will be offered to a student who: (1) enrolls as a full-time student in the Faculty of Graduate Studies at the University of Manitoba in a Master’s or Ph.D. program in Agricultural and Food Sciences; (2) as a Master’s student, achieved a minimum cumulative grade point average of 3.5 in the last 60 credit hours completed in their undergraduate program or, as a Ph.D. student, achieved a minimum cumulative grade point average of 3.75 in their Master’s program; (3) demonstrates an interest in and potential for research; (4) has identified an advisor in the Faculty of Agricultural and Food Sciences who is willing to support a project in breeding and research in Canadian Western Red Spring Wheat. The fellowship cannot be held with another award valued at or higher than the current level of the University of Manitoba Graduate Fellowship that is offered at the recipient’s level of study (Master’s or Ph.D. level). Applicants will be required to submit a completed application form on or before the designated deadline date. Application forms will be made available from the Office of the Dean in the Faculty of Agricultural and Food Sciences. The fellowship can be renewed once by the same recipient in a Master’s program, and twice for the same recipient in a Ph.D. program. The fellowship recipient will receive a renewal upon receiving a satisfactory rating on their annual progress report for the first year of the Masters program or in the first and second year of the Ph.D. program.

If, in the judgment of the selection committee, no applicants meet the award criteria in a given year, the award will not be made in that year. The selection committee will be the Faculty of Agricultural and Food Sciences Awards Committee. -- Martha Blouw, Academic Advisor Department of Plant Science 226 Agriculture Building 66 Dafoe Road University of Manitoba Winnipeg, Manitoba Canada R3T 2N2 Telephone: 204-474-8223 Fax: 204-474-7528
