New keys grad student offices
by Bev Godard 10 Jun '10

10 Jun '10

Good morning to all, The corridor door lock for grad student offices 147A to 147D, and 149 to 152 will be changed and you will be issued a new key for the corridor door which will be separate from your office door key. Grad Student office 148 will also be changed, but you will still only have 1 key as you enter your office directly from the corridor. The door lock on grad student office 149 will be changed and new keys will be issued to those students housed in that office. The work order has gone in with an urgent statement. I will let you know via e-mail as soon as I receive the new keys.

We will be meeting *today Monday June 7 at noon in the Grad Lounge *to talk about it. On Saturday June 5 the in the evening, Caroline was in her grad student office when she was hit over the head from behind. The attacker left the room and Caroline did not get a chance to see who did it to her. She called for help right away and Campus police and City police came within several minutes. Caroline was taken to the hospital and received 3 staples on the back of her head. Thankfully, she is doing well now, considering the circumstances. We will meet today so that Caroline can tell the grad students exactly what happened. We will also discuss a plan on how to ensure our safety from now so that this does not happen again to anybody. *I urge all grad students to attend this meeting, *so that we can work together to keep each other safe. thank you, Iris -- Bev Godard Secretary Department of Plant Science University of Manitoba 66 Dafoe Road Winnipeg, Manitoba R3T 2N2 Phone: (204) 474-8563 Fax: (204) 474-7528 Bev_Godard(a)umanitoba.ca
