I am writing to you on behalf of Life Sciences Research Night Planning Committee. We are hosting our 3rd annual Life Sciences Research Night at LSC on Thursday, November 16th, which saw over 400 students and faculty members attend last year.  

A major component of our event is having graduate students and research professors bring their posters for a mingling session where undergraduate students can explore various types of life sciences research occurring at UBC. We are hoping to extend an open invitation to all active research professors and their graduate students in the Department of ­­Land & Food Systems. At the bottom of this email is an invitation we would like you to share with the faculty members and graduate students in your department. If you could forward this draft at your earliest convenience, we would greatly appreciate it.  

Thank you in advance. 

Sincerely, 

Michelle Yuan
