From: Debbie Bialek Sent: November-21-13 9:06 AM To: Bev Godard Subject: FW: $20,000 Student Award from CIBC and the Student Life Network Hi Bev, Could you please distribute as requested below. Thanks Deb From: Kim Quinlan [mailto:kim@studentlifenetwork.com] Sent: November-21-13 8:46 AM To: Debbie Bialek Subject: $20,000 Student Award from CIBC and the Student Life Network My name is Kim Quinlan and I work for an organization called the Student Life Network. Our organization, in collaboration with CIBC, is currently offering a $20,000 award to help a Canadian student pay for school. The award is not merit based and is open to all students. In addition to the $20,000 for school it contains a whole host of other awards that make a student’s life easier. Students can register to win the award here: http://canadasluckieststudent.com/ref/qMA2064. Last year, we offered a similar opportunity. Taylor Esselment from Hagersville, Ontario won a $20,000 GIC to help her pay off her student debts. A re-cap video of our team and CIBC telling her that she won can be viewed here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zi4knWo6tTo. I’m emailing to see if you could pass on this information to the Plant Science students at the University of Manitoba. Feel free to forward this email to any student lists you think would be appropriate and please let me know if you would like me to email you a poster that you can post online or in print. If you have any further questions about this opportunity, please send me an email and we can sort out some details in sharing this opportunity with your students! Thank you for your time. I look forward to hearing from you.
