Caution! This message was sent from outside the University of Manitoba. I hope this message finds you well. My name is Agnes Jansson and I'm from Sweden. I am writing to you today to request a pen pal friendship. I have always been fascinated by the idea of having a pen pal, and I believe that it would be a great opportunity to learn about new cultures and exchange ideas with someone from a different part of the world.If you are open to the idea, I would love to exchange letters and get to know you better. We could talk about anything and everything, from our daily lives to our interests and hobbies. I believe that this could be a truly enriching experience for both of us, and I look forward to hearing back from you. Thank you for your time and consideration. Best regards, Agnes

Caution! This message was sent from outside the University of Manitoba. Good morning U of M friends. It was suggested that I send this to the U of M Advisor Exchange in the event that there are some of you who don't know about M.A.P. or did not receive my previous emails. If you do, and you did, please accept my apology for yet another email to hit your inbox. I am writing to let you know that the 2024 M.A.P. Conference is just one week away and yes, there are still tickets left. With topics such as Generative AI, Truth and Reconciliation, Career Advising, 2SLGBTQ+ Inclusion, and Volunteerism, plus a full 90 minute lunch for catching up with old colleagues and networking, it is sure to be a rewarding day. Full conference details and registration can be found here<https://www.eventbrite.ca/e/1038324144467?aff=oddtdtcreator> We are looking forward to seeing you next week. You can learn more about MAP here<https://mbadvisors.ca/> I am also writing to remind you that the current Board of Directors 2-year term is coming to an end and I am appealing to the membership to consider volunteering for MAP's Board of Directors. MAP believes that providing professional development and networking opportunities for personnel of Manitoba's post-secondary institutions is as important today as MAP's founders did in 1997. Serving on MAP's Board of Directors allows you to have a say in what those opportunities are. Registering for the 2024 conference as a new or non-current member includes a 2024 membership so you are able to join the Board of Directors for 2025 and/or vote for any members who are seeking a spot of the Board. Typically, the MAP board meets for two hours once a month with bi-weekly meetings during the later conference-planning time in September and October. Typical tasks outside of the meetings are contacting potential presenters, arranging for conference or workshop locations and catering, updating membership lists, sending emails. The same type of tasks that most of us do every day. So, please consider volunteering for a spot on the Board of Directors and help keep the Manitoba Advising Professionals going strong by filling out and submitting a nomination form by clicking this link<https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScqBqKhjtUK3DqPT2wWK_mbL3Na3WiwpMQ…> If the link does not work, try copying and pasting the full URL into your browser https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScqBqKhjtUK3DqPT2wWK_mbL3Na3WiwpMQ… If you have any questions about what it is like to work with a great group of people doing great things, don't hesitate to reach out to me.

CORRECTION: Referral to ELC – international students on academic/disciplinary suspension
by Alicia Franco Espinosa 21 Oct '24

21 Oct '24

Dear Academic Advisors: Please ignore my previous email and read this one. I am writing to provide information about an option for International students whose first language is not English and who are facing or on academic or disciplinary suspension. These students may benefit from a referral to the English Language Centre<https://umanitoba.ca/english-language-centre> to explore enrolment in the Intensive Academic English Program (IAEP)<https://umanitoba.ca/english-language-centre/intensive-academic-english>. These students should be advised to make an appointment with a Regulated International Student Immigration Advisor (RISIA) from the International Centre before making a decision about the IAEP<https://umanitoba.ca/sites/default/files/2020-06/elc-english-flyer-web.pdf>. It is important that international students understand the impacts of transferring from a degree program to an ELC program on their study permit conditions; eligibility to work in Canada while studying at the ELC; and their eligibility to obtain a Post-Graduation Work Permit (PGWP) after the eventual completion of their degree program. The IAEP<https://umanitoba.ca/sites/default/files/2020-06/elc-english-flyer-web.pdf> provides international students with the language and academic skills necessary to succeed in their degree studies. Students learn how to: * Write summaries, essays and research papers with a focus on academic integrity * Develop listening skills through lectures * Develop reading and vocabulary strategies * Practice pronunciation and speaking strategies to improve comprehensibility * Give presentations * Participate in discussions * Review English grammar For more curriculum information, please review the course content<https://umanitoba.ca/english-language-centre/course-information#course-cont…>. Benefits of the IAEP include: * In-person, remote and hybrid delivery options * September, January and May start dates * Average class size is less than 12 students per class * Highly qualified and experienced instructors For more information about the IAEP, and how we can support international students, please contact the ELC at elc(a)umanitoba.ca<mailto:elc@umanitoba.ca> or 204-474-9251.
