by Alexa Peterson 17 Oct '23

17 Oct '23

Good morning PS grads, PSGSA is happy to announce that we will be replacing our coffee breaks with coffee walks this year! It will be a chance to stretch your legs, chat with fellow plant science graduate students, and grab a coffee (optional) at one of the many coffee shops on campus! We hope to hold coffee walks at least once a month. We will meet at the grad student lounge, or you can meet us at Tim Hortons (the engineering building) for our first coffee walk of the year at 10 a.m. on Friday, October 20th! Thank you and I hope you can attend, Alexa Peterson PSGSA President | CSA Student Rep. MSc. Plant Science Student University of Manitoba E: peters86(a)myumanitoba.ca<mailto:peters86@myumanitoba.ca> C: +1 (204) 470-0037
