FW: Animal welfare student scholarship meeting

by Hannah Buchanan-Smith

Attached is a programme of animal welfare student talks in Glasgow on 8th December 2010. It includes the pain face in the dog (Laura, Susan, Sarah etc...). Please contact Steve Wickens directly if you plan to attend. Thanks, Hannah From: Stephen Wickens [mailto:wickens@ufaw.org.uk] Sent: 10 November 2010 13:36 To: Stephen Wickens Subject: Animal welfare student scholarship meeting Dear UFAW link, Please find attached a programme for the upcoming animal welfare student scholarship meeting that this year the University of Glasgow has kindly agreed to host. As previously, this meeting is free to all to attend and refreshments and lunch will be provided. I would be grateful if you could bring it to the attention of your students and colleagues through the different physical and electronic notice boards and other means of communication you use to distribute information to them. In addition to those who have an interest in animal welfare science, we have found in the past that second year undergraduates who are in the process of considering the subject of their research project have benefited from attending as it has given them a better idea of what is expected of them, possible ideas as to what their project could be on and a funding source that they might access. If it is of interest to you and/or your students and you or they wish to attend, or come as a group, then I would be grateful if you could contact me so I can send more details and arrange for sufficient catering to be available on the day.
