Good
Morning All:
I
am
forwarding this email to you on behalf of Annemieke Farenhorst, Acting
Head,
Department of Soil Science:
Learn
about one of our projects at:
http://www.umanitoba.ca/afs/centralamerica_cbpm/about_en.htm
I wanted
to inform you that there is a new
official UMSU club called the UofM Rangelands Club for undergraduate
and
graduate students. I
was wondering if
you would be able to share the information with the other professors
and
Agriculture department heads so that they aware of what's going
on and the students that are participating.
The club
is for students interested in
learning about as well as making industry contacts in the area
of rangelands and ecosystem
management
and all
related subjects. The students will be studying and preparing
for (with help from industry professionals and
researchers)
written
exams, group problem solving activities, and student paper
presentations at the Society for Range
Management
(SRM) annual conference coming up in February in Denver, Colorado.
The University of Alberta and University of
Saskatchewan
send a
student team to this conference annually and this will be the first
time the
University of Manitoba will be
represented.
The students will be putting in a lot of hard work and time to
prepare for the conference and student competitions.
So far, we
have 7 undergraduate students and
2 graduate students that are interested in studying and learning about
range management
and they come from very different backgrounds:
Animal
Systems
Ag Business
Agronomy
Agroecology
This
year's SRM annual meeting is being held in conjunction with the Weed
Science
Society of America conference, and the theme is invasive species
management. We will be looking for any interested speakers to meet
with
the students to help them prepare for the conference. We will also
be looking for some sponsors to help cover some of our costs. We
meet every Tuesday at 5:30 in the Ellis Building, room 342. For more
