From: Doug Cattani <Doug.Cattani(a)umanitoba.ca> Sent: Friday, June 28, 2024 2:17 PM To: Bev Godard <Bev.Godard(a)umanitoba.ca> Subject: Thank you All, It has been a privilege to have served as the Acting Department Head of Plant Science and an even greater personal benefit to get to know more of you better. I want to thank you for making my time special. The last two and a half years has flown by. We have seen an end to covid-19 restrictions, a return to in-person teaching, the Red River continues to slowly lay claim to a number of our Point facilities, and there have been some retirements but more new people. Change is inevitable and we will not stop it. We will continue to adapt to the challenges we face, whether individually or collectively. I would like to thank those that have helped lead the department through the last 2 ½ years, the Acting Associate Heads: Belay Ayele, Rob Gulden, Rob Duncan and Claudio Stasolla. Thank you for your leadership to the Department, you have made the department a better place to work and study. Additionally, I would like to thank all that have served the Department in the Office, you make our jobs better and simpler. I am looking forward to serving as Department Head and we see change on the horizon. New Buildings, new programs(?) and new people! We should always be striving, to the extent of our abilities, to make each other better and be better employers and employees. Our human resources are second to none. We are more formidable when we collaborate and cooperate, and collectively, we can raise Plant Science to new heights. Again I wish to thank you all. Take care, have an enjoyable Canada Day weekend and see you all in July. Sincerely, Douglas Cattani Acting Department Head, Associate Professor, Perennial Crop Breeding Department of Plant Science, University of Manitoba (204) 474-6071 Doug.Cattani(a)umanitoba.ca<mailto:Doug.Cattani@umanitoba.ca> The University of Manitoba campuses are located on the original lands of the Anishinaabeg, Ininiwak, Anisininewuk, Dakota Oyate and Dene, and the National Homeland of the Red River Métis.
