Last night’s BBQ was a success despite having been moved inside.  Team TGLKHL won the trivia contest and each team member recieved certificates for $5 work of ice cream from Buck’s Ice cream. Other participants recieved starbucks gift cards for winning the shout out questions.

If these prizes sound good to you, come to Wednesday’s Ice Cream Social in the LSC Atrium from 5-7.

After that head on over to the free Eric Hutchinson concert at Peace park (between elm and conley streets and 9th and 6th streets).

Due to the weather the BBQ will be in the lobby of the Life Science’s Building.  In addition to food, there will be a trivia contest.  Don’t let the weather get you down, come to the new BBQ location!

Don’t miss the BBQ this Monday at 5-7 at  Bethel-Cosmo Park.  It’s fun, there’s food and games!

The PGI seminar this Friday, June 12 at 1pm in room 102 was originally scheduled to have Dr. Sherry Flint-Garcia, USDA/ARS speaking about Using diverse Zea germplasm to understand agronomic traits. However due to a scheduling conflict,  Dr. Melissa Mitchum, Plant Sciences will be speaking about Worming your way into legumes, the location and time have not changed.
**Also check the calendar page, we have posted a new updated calendar.

This welcome is a little late considering you have already had your orientation and team challenge.  However keep checking in.  We will post pictures here, various dates and places you might want to know, and the newsletters.
