Hello everyone
P.S.
I’m sorry this letter is a little late, I had
an unfortunate collision with a car in
August, both the bike and the car
fared better than I did!
My ongoing plea for photos and news items….
This will be a short newsletter, but I
wanted to make sure everyone knew
about the results of Research Day and
Awards Night, so read on.

can be a surprise at anytime
during rainy season!

Venue:
University Golf Club

Research Day and Awards Night June 2014
This year we tried out a new format and held Research Day on one day and then
held Awards Night on Friday night. As usual, a great display of research put on by
our students, residents, fellows, post-docs.
Research Day was rainy, but the celebrations the next night were rewarded with
amazing sunny weather.
The Research Day organizers, Dr. Pascal Bernatchez and Dr. Don Griesdale did an
amazing job as always. They are happy to hear any suggestions for changes and
improvements to the format of this highlight of our academic year.
