Graduate Student Progress Reports
by Martha Blouw 09 Apr '15

09 Apr '15

It's time to complete Progress Reports (PR) for your graduate students. Please note that it is the responsibility of the advisor, not the student, to ensure that student progress is reviewed. The current Progress Report form is available at: http://umanitoba.ca/faculties/graduate_studies/media/Progress_Report_2015.p… There are copies (yellow) on the file cabinet outside my office. At minimum, the following items should be examined at the time of the progress review: * Is the cumulative GPA 3.0 or higher? * Are all grades a 'C+' or greater? * Are there any missing or "IP" (in progress) grades? * Are there any 'CO' grades that will require tracking? * Is the student on track time-wise and/or are they running out of time? * Is the student meeting the program requirements? * Has the Advisor Student Guidelines form been completed? Complete PR forms are due in the Faculty of Graduate Studies no later than June 1, 2015.

Wild Wing and Bowling???
by Danica Swaenepoel 23 Mar '15

23 Mar '15

Hi everyone, Sorry for the double event planning this week. Gustavo from soil science has planned a bowling night on Thursday (see email below) and was wondering if some plant science students would like to come. If enough people are interested, we could go as a group. Talk amongst yourselves and we can let Gustavo know if there's enough interest. Regarding wild wing... People seem to prefer Wednesday night (I'm sorry Charles...), we will have to decide on an exact time. If you are interested for sure and haven't yet let me know, please do. If there's a large group I'll make a reservation. Thanks!

We are going for bowling on Thursday at 6.00 pm. Probably at Dakota Bowling. They have a great deal which is $60/lane, which includes shoes for 6 people, 1 pizza and unlimited pop and popcorn. Soil Science Grad students are looking forward to beating plant science!! hahahahah See you, Gustavo

Wild Wing Night
by Danica Swaenepoel 23 Mar '15

23 Mar '15

Hello everyone, We were thinking of doing a night out at Wild Wing (new restaurant that just opened on Pembina across from the university) one night this week. We discussed going on either Wednesday (March 25th) or Friday (March 27th) if these dates work for people. Let me know if you are interested in coming, and whether or not these dates work for you. We can always plan something in a following week if it works for more people. Thanks!! Danica
