Hello everyone, happy friday! Special announcement about today’s coffee break!
In celebration of the wonderful weather and the end of exams, we’ll be having coke floats at coffee break today. If you are not familiar with the concept: coke float = coca-cola + ice-cream = foamy deliciousness. So just bring a cup/glass & spoon to the staff lounge room (2nd floor) at15:00, if you would like to join.
A reminder about mandatory safety orientation for those new to CHBE including faculty, staff, students, visitors, interns and employees. As well, any individuals who missed the January orientation should attend the orientation.
