Grad Student Clothing
by Danica Swaenepoel 25 Feb '16

25 Feb '16

Hello everyone, We are looking at placing another clothing order sometime in the next couple of weeks. We will order more polo shirts, the same as the ones that were ordered last year, which gives students who didn't get one/new students an opportunity to get one. The price of the polos are $33. I have mine with me so please don't hesitate to contact me if you would like a closer look at the style. We are also looking to see if there's interest in hoodies as well. They would be pullover type hoodies, in the same color as the polo shirts with the same logo. The cost of the hoodies is $38. We need a minimum order of 25 hoodies in order to get them for this price, so I will only put forward an order if we have enough interest. The purpose of this email is to determine numbers for each item. Please reply ASAP and let me know if you are interested in either a polo, a hoodie, or both. Once we have numbers we can move forward with sizing for the actual order. Thanks!

Plant Sci. Grads: Symposium Update NDSU
by Michelle Carkner 25 Feb '16

25 Feb '16

Hi everyone, Just a quick update on hotels for the symposium in Fargo: NDSU has recommended the Radisson Hotel Fargo: http://www.radisson.com/fargo-hotel-nd-58102/fargo Danielle recommends this hotel because the banquet will be downtown and hotel is walking distance from there. It is about a 10 minute drive to campus from there. There is the opportunity to get a lower rate on hotels.com, or expedia.com. She thinks it'll be around $133/night. There is also Days Inn: http://www.daysinn.ca/hotels/north-dakota/fargo/days-inn-and-suites-fargo-1… It is closer to campus, but is not within walking distance to the banquet. It's cheaper, Danielle says around 103/night. Rates may be different from what Danielle has told me. That's all I have for now. Michelle -- Graduate Student (M.Sc.)
