22 May '18

FYI Dear Graduate Students, So far I have not received the confirmation to attend the meeting with Angela Bedard-Haughn from any student from Soil Science. It will be important to know what Angela Bedard-Haughn can offer as a new dean. She is a Soil Scientist, however, so far Nobody from Soil Science has confirm the attendance. As part of the process to select our new dean, a desert meeting has been planned, in which graduate students can chat and ask questions to the candidates for the Dean of Agricultural and Food Sciences position. The meeting with Dr. Angela Bedard-Haughn will be on Thursday, May 24th, 2018, from 12:45 to 1:30 in Room 252 Agriculture Building. There are a limited number of seats available, if you are interested in this selection process, please reply as soon as possible, with your Name and Department to Gustavo Mejicanos (ummejicg(a)myumanitoba.ca<mailto:ummejicg@myumanitoba.ca>) . I hope that some of you can make it to the meeting on Thursday, Gustavo Mejicanos ummejicg(a)myumanitoba.ca<mailto:ummejicg@myumanitoba.ca>
