News and Announcements

Congratulations to our amazing students and CCSAW members who took 2 out of 3 presentation awards at the first annual Canadian Poultry Research Forum held June 21-23! 

PhD Candidate Claire Mindus was featured in U of G News on her success at the recent Three-Minute Thesis (3MT) competition. Claire won top prize as well as the Community Choice award in the College-wide competition this past spring. With the win, she will be moving on to the provincial rounds later this summer with a chance to go to the 2021 National 3MT Showcase in November.

The Department of Animal Biosciences offers our deepest sympathies to the Indigenous Peoples and communities during this sad and difficult time. As we observe National Indegneous History Month, the horrific discovery of 751 unmarked graves of Indigenous children on the grounds of former residential schools, in addition to the remains of 215 children found in May, are tragic reminders of the truths of Canada's past.

The Department of Animal Biosciences would like to congratulate the Class of 2021 which includes our newest Animal Science, Animal Biology and Equine Management graduates! The past year has certainly been a challenging one and you should all be extremely proud of your accomplishements. Wishing you all the best as you start your next adventures.

Congratulations to Claire Mindus (Animal Biosciences and Campbell Centre for the Study of Animal Welfare) on being named the winner of the 2021 3MT^® U of G Competition! Claire was also the recipient of the Community Choice Award at this year's event. She will now go on to represent Guelph in a provincial showcase this summer.
