Welcome to F18!

I know! I know!  The Summer is pretty much finished – last week before the campus is bustling with all the undergrad students and all the new graduate students!  I also hope it means an end in sight of these “hot” and “humid” days!

First of all a BIG WELCOME to all new graduate students.  I hope this Blog will help you along with your studies.  I’m also looking for input, so please don’t hesitate to email me with thoughts, comments, critiques, questions, or anything.  oacstats@uoguelph.ca is the way to get ahold of me!

So, what’s happening this Fall?

LISTSERV

I’m trying to find different ways to communicate with the OAC research community, so I’ve created a LISTSERV – oac-stats@listserv.uoguelph.ca  If you are interested in being added to it, please email oacstats@uoguelph.ca and I will add you.
