The deadline for submission of Nominations for External Examiner for PhD candidates wanting to complete on the timeline for August 31 program completion is this Friday, April 9. This is a somewhat flexible deadline, but students wishing to complete their PhD by the end of the summer should be ready to start the examination process. The External Examiner nominations should come in by the end of next week to reduce the likelihood of a delay in securing an External Examiner.

As a reminder, the other dates candidates need to meet are as follows:

• FRIDAY, 11 JUNE 2021 – Doctoral dissertation (and supporting documentation) submitted to Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies for external examination
• FRIDAY, 6 AUGUST 2021 – Last Day for Final Doctoral Oral Examination
• FRIDAY, 27 AUGUST 2021 – Acceptance of final, approved doctoral dissertation by Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies

We will also have an information session about the Virtual Defence process on Wednesday, June 2. This session will be advertised in the regular Monday updates from GradUpdate.

Please distribute this email to any faculty or students you think may be interested.

Best,

Robyn

My name is Rick White. I am a Realtor with Sutton West Coast Realty working out of the Granville and Broadway office.

One of my very good clients purchased a 10 acres plot of recently cleared ALR property in Langley, BC.

The farm property has a newly drilled well and a home and outbuildings will be placed in the coming weeks..

I am contacting you on behalf of my clients to ask if you, your colleagues and students are looking for opportunities to work with a local small-scale organic farmer in the development of her community focussed non-profit farm.

Her goal is to transform this fertile 10 acres of agricultural property into a productive organic farm where she will grow a range of vegetables for donation and possible sale to local merchants and restaurants.

To support her vision of a productive farm, she hopes to raise a few chickens for egg production, honey bees and possibly a few sheep and goats to provide balance.

The farm owner is a wonderful person and I am confident that she would be very generous and supportive of your students and faculty if you opted to work with her.

I think this will be a great opportunity to plan and develop a farm from its early stages.

Let me know if you are interested in learning more.

Respectfully,

Rick
