LH masthead.jpg 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> http://myuminfo.umanitoba.ca/index.asp?sec=440.

LH masthead.jpg 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

To Students, Faculty, Staff and Alumni: Earlier today in Halifax, the University of Manitoba added its voice to the apologies that have been expressed to Indian Residential School survivors at the Truth and Reconciliation Commission. We join other national institutions which have previously expressed their deep regret for these schools and their damaging impact on First Nations, Métis and Inuit people, communities and cultures. We see this as one important step in the process of reconciliation. We are committed to advance Indigenous education and success in Canada with partners from the broader community. With our statement of apology and reconciliation, I believe we are well on our way to achieving that goal. The University of Manitoba statement of apology and reconciliation demonstrates our commitment to Indigenous students, faculty and staff. Our university remains committed to a welcoming environment where Indigenous cultures and values are included and reflected in our teaching, discovery and engagement. We trust our apology will be accepted in the spirit of generosity and reconciliation that has been the hallmark of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission process. I am pleased to share the entire text of the statement. You can find it at <http://umanitoba.ca/about/media/StatementOfApology.pdf> http://umanitoba.ca/about/media/StatementOfApology.pdf. It is our intention, having said the words of this apology, to move to reconciliation. Sincerely, David David T.

It has been endorsed by the Board of Governors Executive Committee and shared with the Board of Governors and the Senate Executive Committee. I would like to thank all of them for their counsel and input. We are providing live streaming video of the statement at three locations in Winnipeg and one in Thompson. .
