2011 Office of the President Holiday Greeting Card
For the past two years, the Office of the President has sought submissions
of original works of art for the cover of the President's holiday greeting
card.
For the 2011 card, we are asking for submissions of original works of poetry
- specifically haiku - from members of the University of Manitoba community
to use as the inside message for the greeting card.
This is a wonderful opportunity to be creative, and perhaps try something
new. One haiku will be featured in the President's 2011 card, which is
shared with members of the University, community, corporate donors and
friends.
All submissions will be reviewed by a panel and assessed for their
suitability. In the event that no suitable submissions are received,
alternate work will be used.
Please note that reproduction of the poem is for the sole purpose of the
President's greeting card and that no financial gain will be made from the
reproduction.
GUIDELINES:
Entries must be your original work and must adhere to the general rules of
haiku. We are seeking examples that include the following characteristics:
. A three-line form: five syllables in the first line, seven
syllables in the second line, and five syllables in the third line.
. A focus on nature.
. A seasonal focus, appropriate to this time of year.
SUBMISSION:
Email up to 3 haiku poems by Monday, November 28, 4:30 p.m. to Holly
Campbell at: <mailto:holly_campbell@umanitoba.ca>
holly_campbell(a)umanitoba.ca.
Please include a title for your poem as well as your name, email address,
phone number and a brief biography.

To Students and Staff:
Today we celebrate philanthropy in all its forms. November 15, 2011 marks
the 26th anniversary of National Philanthropy Day, a special day that
honours the impact of people who give generously to support causes that are
important to them or volunteer their time to make a difference in their
community. At the University of Manitoba we pay tribute to all of our alumni
and friends and the great contributions that your goodwill brings to our
lives, our communities and our world.
All over the world, celebrations are being held to honour this unique day.
In Manitoba, the Association of Fundraising Professionals (AFP), Manitoba
Chapter is hosting its own event, and I'd like to take a moment to
acknowledge a few of our graduates who are being recognized for their
commitment to our province: Dr. Frank J. Hechter (DMD/71, MSc/76, MEd/90,
PhD/95) is being honoured for his work as an Outstanding Volunteer
Fundraiser, while Dr. Gerry Price (BSc(ME)/70, MSc/72) and Mrs. Barbara
Price (BHEc/69, CertEd/70) are being honoured as Outstanding
Philanthropists.
Our world is a better place thanks to those who share their good fortune
with others. We are grateful to those who have enriched our community of
learning, discovery and outreach. They are trailblazers, visionaries and
innovators in their own right who have helped enrich the lives and ensure
the success of our trailblazers, visionaries and innovators.
If you want to learn more about how philanthropy has benefitted our
university, you can read about how our donors have inspired and challenged
our students and researchers to invent, grow, create, thrive and embrace the
unexpected at <http://myuminfo.umanitoba.ca/index.asp?sec=440>

Creating Opportunities
for Student Success

To Students, Staff and Alumni:
On Remembrance Day, we reflect on the sacrifice of men and women who have
given their lives to protect the rights and freedoms that we can too easily
take for granted.
The Avenue of the Elms on the Fort Garry Campus is a constant physical
reminder that our students, faculty, staff and alumni at the University of
Manitoba have been and continue to be touched by the tragedy of war. While
that row of trees planted by the Manitoba Agricultural College is a memorial
for its students who died in the First World War, there is nothing historic
or distant about the danger that people face when they serve abroad.
Cpl. Jordan Anderson, who was killed by a roadside bomb in Afghanistan in
2007, died before he could receive the Bachelor of Arts Degree he earned
through the University's Military Support Office. Cpl. Anderson's wife
accepted his degree on his behalf. It was the first time a degree was
granted posthumously.
While we cannot enter into the personal grief felt by his wife and the rest
of his family, we do share their sadness and pride. Cpl. Anderson served his
country in a life that was far too short. We are fortunate to include him
among our graduates.
Soldiers who serve or have served our country are fathers, husbands and
sons, mothers, wives and daughters, brothers and sisters, uncles and aunts.
They are nieces, nephews and friends.
It is important to remember those people, those families and their painful
losses so that we never lose sight of the true cost of war. We can remember
by pausing for at least a moment at the 11th hour on the 11th day to reflect
on our good fortune or by attending a Remembrance Day ceremony.
Sincerely,
David
