Before you can register yourself, you have to complete the appropriate registration approval form - attached. Please return the signed form to me and I'll remove the hold that prevents you from registering without having your courses approved. If your progress report was submitted after June 1 you will likely still have a progress report hold on your record that will also prevent you from registering. You'll have to keep checking for this hold to be removed. Please don't hesitate to contact me if you have any questions.

Dear Martha, The Government of Manitoba is launching a new paid Data Science internship program. The Data Science Leaders in Training Program is an 18 month paid internship for early career data scientists and data professionals interested in pursuing a career in the public service. This program offers professional experience and training at the intersection of data science and policy, allowing participants to put their data skills to use to positively impact the lives of Manitobans. Skills and knowledge will be developed and enhanced through three challenging work placements, under the guidance and mentorship of senior leaders and data professionals in the organization, and a variety of opportunities for classroom and hands-on training. Interns will contribute to the development of evidence-informed policies and decisions that support government priorities by working on exciting data projects that span multiple domains and datasets. This program offers exposure to data not available in any other sector, and an opportunity to leverage data science techniques in the service of Manitobans. We invite you to circulate this opportunity to the students in your department. We invite anyone interested in learning more about the program to join us for a virtual 30-minute information session on Friday September 9th at 12:00 PM Central Time by clicking this link: Data Science Leaders in Training Program Information Session<https://teams.microsoft.com/l/meetup-join/19%3ameeting_OWY4NjEzOGQtMjFiYS00…>.

FW: Grad Stats Course: SOIL 7250 T02 Non-traditional Quantitative Techniques

Forwarded on behalf of Dr. Zvomuya From: Francis Zvomuya <Francis.Zvomuya(a)umanitoba.ca> Sent: Thursday, September 1, 2022 3:21 PM To: Martha Blouw <Martha.Blouw(a)umanitoba.ca> Subject: Grad Stats Course: SOIL 7250 T02 Non-traditional Quantitative Techniques Hi all, We have a few more spots left. In this applied stats course, students get to work with data from their current thesis research or another study. Those who do not yet have data to work with may work on an analysis plan for their future data, in addition to experimental design and treatment layout of their planned thesis research. Students are expected to have a good background in statistics, preferably at the graduate level. Typically, students who take this course will have taken ANSC 7500 Methodology in Agricultural and Food Sciences, or an equivalent, although this in not a requirement. Knowledge of SAS will be an asset, but not a requirement. Attached is an outline from Fall 2021. This may change to reflect the specific needs of students registered for the course. If you have any questions, send me an email. Thanks, Francis Francis Zvomuya, Ph.D. Professor and Head Dept. of Soil Science 362 Ellis Building [cid:image002.jpg@01D8BE16.E6F2CF20]
