Dear Fellow Grad Students
Here is the invitation from Gurcharn Brar, the Chair of the University of Saskatchewan Plant Science Graduate Student Association. All students are welcome to register the symposium before March 10th, even though you are presenting neither your results or your proposal. For students who have financial difficulties for accommodations, there are some possibilities that the University of Saskatchewan might cover/split the costs of the accommodations. So far, 20+ students from NDSU have planned to come to this symposium. It will be a great opportunity for us to network with students from different universities.

Thanks so much for asking the group rates. Appreciate you guys' time! Also, we will come in two vehicles. Will it be possible to get a two-day parking pass at UofS.

I will get those to you this morning! As for group rates, we haven't worked any out as of yet. I was hoping to do that today and I was going to contact the Park Town and the Best Western for that. I will also let you know about that once it is all done!
Also- we are experiencing some technical difficulties with our abstract submissions through the website. Would you be able to provide me with the following student's emails so they can submit their abstract directly to me?:
Karuna Kapoor
Laura Schmidt
Bruce Pei
Karunur Rashid
Ashley Ammeter
MM Uzzal Ahmed Liton
Leanne Koroscil
Thank you! And so sorry for the inconvenience!

Hi Moria
Thanks for the information Just a curious question whether these hotels provide any discount or price code for students attending this symposium or not? Will students from other universities plan to stay at hotel rooms as well? If you do not mind, could you mind sending me the names of UofM students who submitted their abstract?
Thanks for your time.
Best Regards,

As for hotels, the Park Town is an excellent option. It's close to the University and has a free shuttle. As well, there is the Radisson, Sheraton or Best Western all near by. I will include the links below.

Hi Gurcharn
I submitted my abstract and have not seen any confirmation notice whether the word file is received or not. Does it mean that the submission failed since I have not seen a Thank You message?
What another option of accommodations can U of M students choose beside hotel rooms? It will be nice to have more than one option/hotel the UofM students can choose from
