[Plantsci] Distribution to PLS faculty

[Gabriel Rodriguez]

On Behalf of David Galbraith:

 

==================================================

 

Dennis, Bill and I  are offering a new course (PLS 195A: First Year 

Colloquium) which is designed to excite entering freshmen in careers 

in the Plant Sciences. We hope to feature visiting speakers having 

demonstrably productive careers based on an undergraduate degree in 

PLS (or related fields).

 

Based on budgetary considerations, I have explored the idea of 

distance-learning using communications software, and it seems 

entirely feasible for us to have at least some class sessions using 

distal speakers, presenting their audio and video and a powerpoint 

presentation in real time across the internet.

 

I am writing to ask your help in identifying "famous" PLS or CALS 

alumni and alumnae (interpreted broadly -- i.e. these could be former 

UA/PLS/CALS ugrad students, grad students, postdocs, faculty etc.) 

that we could approach to provide talks like this. We can't offer 

much in return, beyond the warm and fuzzy feeling that they are 

assisting young Wildcats appreciate the Plant Sciences!

 

If you could pass that information back to me asap, I would be most 

grateful (name, contact info, current employment, expertise, anything 

else....).

 

Thanks

 

David
