vacuuming of grad offices
by Bev Godard 23 Jun '14

23 Jun '14

Hi everyone. I've asked for the grad student offices to be vacuumed. I've heard back from caretaking services and they will vacuum either Tuesday or Wednesday. It would be appreciated if you could get as much of your stuff as you can up off the floors. Thanks, Bev Bev Godard Secretary to the Head Department of Plant Science University of Manitoba 222 Agriculture Building 66 Dafoe Road Winnipeg, MB R3T 2N2 Ph: (204) 474-8563 Fax: (204) 474-7528

Once again I have moderately important news. As always we are going out for drinks this Thursday at 4:30, and this time we'll be going to Tony Roma's. We are going to be posting pictures of students in the Grad Lounge. We'll print them out and post them for you. So if you have a picture you would like hung up send them to me and Val. Val's Email: lobossuv(a)myumanitoba.ca My Email: umlinski(a)myumanitoba.ca Guidelines for Pictures: 1) Pictures must be related to plant science. 2) Group photos of grad students and photos of you winning an award are highly encouraged. This will be an ongoing thing, if at any time you take a picture that you'd like posted send it to us and we'll eventually try and get it up.
