Dear University of Manitoba Community,
We invite you to attend the next Community Engagement Session as we continue our Strategic Research Planning process to develop a collective vision for the future of UM research. As we review the feedback received thus far, several areas of importance are emerging. The third community engagement session will ask participants to delve more deeply into our strengths, the impact of our research, and potential thematic areas.
This session will again allow for interactive small group discussions to address key questions. If you are joining virtually, you will be able to move between virtual break out rooms to provide your feedback on each question.
Summaries from each group discussion will be shared with the larger group for an open conversation.
Event details below:
Date: Monday, April 3, 2023 at 10:00 a.m.
Location: Buhler Atrium, 715 McDermot Avenue, Bannatyne Campus
This is a hybrid event, with both in-person and online options to attend. Please RSVP by Thursday, March 30 by clicking here<https://forms.office.com/r/zmercTkGLX>.
Following the event, the questions will be posted on the Strategic Research Planning page for ongoing input from the UM community. Please continue to visit the Strategic Research Planning page<https://umanitoba.sharepoint.com/sites/um-intranet-research-services/SitePa…> for updates on our progress.
We hope to see you there.

Message from Dr. Michael Benarroch, President and Vice-Chancellor and Diane Hiebert-Murphy, Provost and Vice-President (Academic)
Dear University of Manitoba students,
There is one week left to participate in the UM strategic plan survey. If you haven’t already done so, there is still time to share your big ideas to inform the University of Manitoba’s strategic vision for the future. If you have completed the survey already, thank you for sharing your thoughts.
As described in our initial invitation, the survey contains 9 open-ended questions—you may answer as many or as few questions as you wish. There is also the opportunity to answer a series of optional demographic questions to help us understand the community voices heard in the process. The anticipated time to complete this survey is 10 to 20 minutes.
Participation in the survey is completely voluntary and is intended to be anonymous; should any identifying data be collected in participant responses to the open-ended questions, it will be held in strict confidence.
To engage in the survey, please visit https://higheredstrategies.questionpro.ca/UM-strategic-plan-s.
The survey will close at 11:59 p.m. CST on March 31.
Thank you for taking the time to complete this survey. Your voice is vital as we develop UM’s strategic plan for the future.
Miigwech,
