-------- Original Message -------- Subject: 2009 Plant Science Graduate Student's Symposium Date: Fri, 15 Aug 2008 11:01:24 -0500 From: Victoria Gauthier <umgauthv(a)cc.umanitoba.ca> To: Bev Godard <godardbd(a)cc.umanitoba.ca> ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Hello everyone! The graduate symosium is coming up and in order for it to be a success we need financial help from corporations. For those of you who don't know what the graduate symposium is, it is a set of seminars put on by the graduate students from the department of plant science from the University of Saskatchewan, the University of Manitoba and the University of North Dakota. Every year the symposium rotates between these three universities. This year (March 2009) we will be hosting this event. What I am asking of you is if you have any connections with an agricultural (or otherwise) corporation that would be willing to make a financial donation to this symposium. Please let me know as we have set the deadline for hearing back from the sponsors to September 8 (which is coming up VERY quickly). Please let me know if you can help us out. Thanks!

[Fwd: Grad lounge issues]
by Bev Godard 12 Aug '08

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: Grad lounge issues Date: Tue, 12 Aug 2008 08:09:09 -0500 From: umbagava(a)cc.umanitoba.ca To: godardbd(a)cc.umanitoba.ca ----------------- Hi all, Thanks very much for those who came out and helped with the cleaning yesterday. Please keep the lounge tidy. There are complaints about things being stolen from the lounge. It is also a concern that the lounge is misused. I really doubt if it is our students. Because the lounge is always open even during after the working hours and the weekends, outsiders could easily get access to it and create such problems. Please make sure the lounge is locked after the office hours - at least during the weekends. Everyone of us has got the keys so please lock it to avoid such issues. Thanks very much Muthu -- 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
