FW: URGENT: Plant Science Rep for GSA By-Laws Committee Needed
by Bev Godard 25 Oct '12

-----Original Message----- From: Mary E. Price [mailto:Mary_Price@umanitoba.ca] Sent: October-25-12 11:13 AM To: Bev Godard Subject: URGENT: Plant Science Rep for GSA By-Laws Committee Needed Hi all, In order to secure funding from GSA each year we need to have representation from our grad students on two GSA committees. Chami is currently serving on both which is not fair to her. We need someone to volunteer to serve on the GSA By-Laws Committee. This is not a large commitment as there is only one meeting per month (one hour, on a Wednesday at 4:30 pm). Anyone who already holds a position in PSGSA can also volunteer! Serving on this committee will of course look good on your CV too! If you're interested, please email me, Mary_Price(a)umanitoba.ca as soon as possible! Thanks, Mary

01 Oct '12

From: David Ian Brown Sent: October-01-12 3:58 PM To: Bev Godard Subject: PLANT GROWTH SPACE ALLOCATIONS The Plant Science Space Allocation again requests your needs for the upcoming growing cycle. Some have already been started, but we must attend to those not already assigned. This allocation will be from Sept 1, 2012 to December 31, 2012. Please keep in mind that there will be mandatory user fees effective January 1, 2013. This cost structure will be reviewed annually and adjustments to cover only the costs will be made. Please submit to me via e-mail your needs by October 9, 2012 with any special requirements (temperature. ppd, etc). We also need to identify any space used for class material production. To this end, please signify your need with the appropriate course numbers. Also, the committee is addressing the requirement issue every four months. This means that we shall ask again for submissions effective Jan. 1, 2013 - April 30, 2013, May 1, 2013- August 30, 2013. Please give careful consideration to these requests as demand for space is usually very tight and shows no signs of diminishing. Thank you for all your help in dealing with this annual process. Dept of Plant Science Allocation Committee Dr C. Stasolla Ian Brown
