by Marcia Davies 22 Mar '21

22 Mar '21

[cid:image002.jpg@01D531AE.174C13F0] Dear Students, The signs of Spring are all around us here in Manitoba. The vaccine is being administered to an increasing number of people, socially distanced patios are opening, and a strong sense of optimism is in the air! No matter where you are living during this remote learning period, I hope you are finding opportunities between your academic and other commitments to take time for yourselves. In this update, I am highlighting a few important upcoming events, reminding you of UM's Fall 2021 plans, and sharing news of supports available to you as you complete your last month of classes. UM Together: Reflecting on a year of Covid-19. Join us virtually on Tuesday, March 23<https://umanitoba.ca/campus-community-gatherings>rd as we gather together as a university community to pause and contemplate the last year of learning and working remotely. You'll hear reflections from members of our community including President Benarroch, our Chancellor, students, faculty and staff. Together, we'll reflect on what challenged us, what we learned, and what we are hopeful for in the weeks and months ahead. We will light candles to honour the lives lost to Covid-19 in Manitoba and around the world, and consider the promise that the future holds. I hope to see you there. Winnipeg's Anti-Racism Week March 21-27. Last week, we witnessed an abhorrent attack on Atlanta's Asian community. I want to send my deepest condolences to colleagues, friends and family members in Atlanta. At the University of Manitoba, we are committed to fostering and upholding a campus environment where all students, staff and faculty feel a sense of safety, support, and belonging. We stand with our Asian, Black, Indigenous, and Persons of Colour (BIPOC) communities and reject all forms of racism. I encourage you to show your solidarity with our BIPOC communities by participating in the City of Winnipeg's Anti-Racism Week<https://winnipeg.ca/interhom/anti-racism-week/default.stm>. This virtual event will feature a range of discussions about how we move from talking about racism to actively learning, unlearning and standing against it. Stay tuned to @umstudent on Instagram for more details. I hope to "see" you there. Academic and mental health and wellness supports are available. UM has many mental health and wellness supports<https://umanitoba.ca/coronavirus/resources-students#personal-supports-for-s…> to help you through the final weeks of the Winter term. The Academic Learning Centre<https://umanitoba.ca/student-supports/academic-supports/academic-learning> is continuing to offer Virtual Study Halls, tutoring and a range of academic resources. Use the self-check up tool<https://umanitoba.ca/current-students/first-year/um-commons/student-self-ch…> to find the support and resources you need. I am really pleased to announce the launch of the new Virtual Advising Help Centre<https://umanitoba.ca/virtual-advising-help-centre> (VAHC). The VAHC is staffed by trained students who are available to meet with you via phone, email and instant online chat. Student Service Navigators can point you in the right direction if you need support and aren't sure where to turn. They can help you with all things university such as declaring a major or minor, applying to specific programs, registration and more. They are your virtual connection to the campus community. The VAHC is open from 8:30am-9:00pm Monday through Friday and 10:00am-5:00pm on weekends. Check it out! Fall Term 2021. As announced last week, in-person instruction will increase in the Fall Term 2021 and in spanned courses, in alignment with public health guidelines. When registration opens in the next few months, in-person requirements for courses will be outlined in Aurora. We are hopeful to be in a position to declare a full return to face-to-face operations in Winter Term 2022. Share your UM Pride in Maclean's student survey. Every year, Maclean's magazine releases its annual university rankings. One of the ways the magazine determines the order of their lists is by surveying students at each university. Share your UM pride, and let Maclean's know how great UM is by participating in the survey. Everyone who completes the survey will be entered into a draw for a $500 Visa Gift Card courtesy of Maclean's. English survey: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/MacleansStudents202102 French survey: https://fr.surveymonkey.com/r/MacleansEtudiants202102 As I mentioned at the outset - in addition to focusing on your academics, please take time to connect with others, do something that brings you joy, and soak in the sunshine!

Fall Term 2021 Will Include More In-Person Instruction
by President's Office 17 Mar '21

17 Mar '21

To our UM students, faculty and staff, We are a community that thrives on personal connections, and as I noted in my recent messages to the community, this past year has been hard on all of us and we are eager to see the end of it. Today, I am writing with cautious optimism to provide an update on plans for Fall Term 2021. Going forward, we will continue to pursue public health advice on additional opportunities to safely resume in-person activity. In light of current public health advice and expectations on the vaccine rollout, we are planning to resume more in-person instruction this fall. The health and safety of our community remains our first priority, and we believe that a phased transition is prudent. As such, we have set the following limits on in person instruction: * Classes with a maximum registration of 20 students can proceed with in-person instruction, as our spaces permit. * Lab classes will be limited to no more than 25, or to the COVID room-capacity limit, whichever is smaller. * Large classes will continue with remote delivery. Effective immediately, units may plan to allow for an increase in the percentage of employees accessing our campuses up to a maximum of 40 per cent (includes teaching, research and work in support of academic mission). All work that can continue remotely should continue remotely. As the vaccination rollout proceeds and public health orders permit, the UM COVID Recovery Steering Committee will look at reopening other course related and non-instructional activities. We are hopeful to be in a position to declare a full return to face-to-face operations in Winter Term 2022. Our past experience has taught us that we need to remain cautious. The situation can change quickly, but this is what we believe is safe based on what we know right now. We appreciate that there will be questions as we move forward, and we will continue to provide more details and answers in the days and weeks to come. Please continue to use the resources on our COVID-19 page<https://umanitoba.ca/coronavirus>, which is updated regularly as information becomes available. Thank you to faculty, instructors, students, staff and everyone for your continued resilience and commitment to UM's mission and vision. Sincerely, Michael Michael Benarroch, Ph.D. President and Vice-Chancellor 202 Administration Building, University of Manitoba Winnipeg MB R3T 2N2 Canada Telephone: 204-474-9345 Email: president(a)umanitoba.ca<mailto:president@umanitoba.ca> [cid:image001.png@01D71B2E.FE5C8200]

What a year we've had.
by President's Office 11 Mar '21

11 Mar '21

Today marks one year since the WHO declared a global pandemic that changed life for our UM community. To our UM student community, A year ago, I was preparing to return to my home province and begin my new role as the University of Manitoba's 12th president and vice-chancellor. I was looking forward to being on our lively campuses again-to meeting with students and seeing you in action. Like all of you, my plans were entirely upended when COVID-19 required us to make drastic and immediate changes to the way we work and socialize. Our University of Manitoba community has lost colleagues, students, friends and family. We have had to grieve, and grieve differently. Our most sacred and meaningful traditions have had to be postponed, abandoned, or entirely reimagined. The flag over Administration Building is at half-mast today in recognition of the National Day of Observance for COVID-19, and to commemorate the people who lost their lives and the significant impacts we have all felt. You have had to study, learn, research, work and make friends differently. You have had to let go of much of what you imagined this year of university would be. I hear you when you say it hasn't been easy. I see your struggles, efforts and contributions. This includes those who joined the fight against COVID-19 during early days<https://news.umanitoba.ca/hundreds-of-um-students-volunteering-to-help-figh…>, and to vaccinate people as we move forward. And those who have volunteered as mentors and supported mental wellness to remind each other that you're not alone. Thousands of students took part in virtual Welcome Day, Career Fairs, and UM's Virtual Community Centre<https://news.umanitoba.ca/3-reasons-you-should-join-the-covid-19-virtual-co…> to support each other and connect. Students continue to push themselves in competitions like Three Minute Thesis<https://news.umanitoba.ca/grad-students-ready-to-shine-in-3mt-heats> and JDC West<https://news.umanitoba.ca/asper-hosts-successful-2021-jdc-west-competition/>. And many of you have participated in academic workshops and counselling groups. In a year like no other, you have shown up and found new ways to thrive. Well done, I know it hasn't been easy. And we must remember that the community has rallied together to support you! Thanks to $3.1M from the Manitoba government's Manitoba Scholarship and Bursary Initiative (MSBI) and the generosity of UM alumni and donors, an additional $4 million in bursary support is now available to provide immediate financial assistance to over 5,000 UM students. Our donors are also helping eligible students to acquire needed technology through the COVID-19 UM Student Technology Fund<https://news.umanitoba.ca/technology-now-a-vital-tool-for-pandemic-learning/>. I look forward to welcoming more of our community back to our campuses as it becomes safer to do so. I look forward to joining a crowd of fans to cheer on our Bison athletes, and to enjoying a show from the University of Manitoba Theatre program in the John J. Conklin Theatre. I can hardly wait to stand in front of thousands of proud parents, friends and future alumni at an in-person convocation. And what a gift it will be to hear a live Desautels chamber ensemble sing. As we reflect on how far we've come, and on how much this year has cost us, I am encouraged by the opportunities ahead. You are not alone<https://umanitoba.ca/student-supports/counselling-resources-students>, and though none of us know the future, we have hope that we are through the worst of this. As we all do our part to follow public health advice, UM's COVID Recovery Steering Committee<https://news.umanitoba.ca/get-familiar-with-the-covid-19-recovery-steering-…> continues to plan to safely resume more in-person activity and more will be shared in the coming days. I am deeply proud of you and I hope you are proud of yourself. Thank you for showing up this year in remarkable ways and inspiring us all with your courage and strength. Sincerely, Michael Michael Benarroch, Ph.D. President and Vice-Chancellor 202 Administration Building, University of Manitoba Winnipeg MB R3T 2N2 Canada Telephone: 204-474-9345 Email: president(a)umanitoba.ca<mailto:president@umanitoba.ca> [cid:image001.png@01D7166A.931EE960]

Update to UM Students: February 12, 2021
by Marcia Davies 12 Feb '21

12 Feb '21

[cid:image002.jpg@01D531AE.174C13F0] Dear Students, Welcome to February - we've made it! As the days grow longer, we are reminded that spring is just around the corner, and before long the dark days of winter will be behind us. And, of course, Monday marks the beginning of a much-deserved winter break. It is also the day when we honour Louis Riel, who played a vitally important role in advocating for justice for the Métis people and was recognized by parliament in 1992 as the founder of Manitoba. Riel's vision of a province - a society - that recognizes and embraces all cultures continues to motivate and inspire us today. Reading Week also offers you the opportunity to relax, get caught up with your studies, and refocus so you can complete the term with renewed energy. Given current travel restrictions, I encourage you to explore the many options available to you in our capital city and across the province, which are noted at the link below, along with additional information, reminders and important campus updates. Be aware of travel quarantines. If you choose to leave Manitoba over Reading Week, remember that the provincial government requires you to quarantine<https://www.gov.mb.ca/covid19/restartmb/prs/orders/index.html#:~:text=As%20….> for 14 days when you return. Embrace the staycation. There are lots of interesting things to do in Manitoba during Reading Week, like snowshoeing at one of our beautiful provincial parks, cross-country skiing or skating at The Forks, learning a new craft in Student Life's Community Centre, or joining a virtual study hall. Take a look at what's planned here<https://news.umanitoba.ca/what-you-should-and-shouldnt-do-for-winter-term-b…>. Take a moment for your mental health and well-being. Making time for yourself will help you become more resilient when faced with changing circumstances in life, work, and school. There are a number of valuable resources and supports available to you here<https://news.umanitoba.ca/mental-health-supports-for-students-reach-out-for…>. Do a self-check. How's the winter term going so far? Take a look at this new interactive page<https://umanitoba.ca/current-students/first-year/um-commons/student-self-ch…> to find services and programs to help you finish the term strong. Show your integrity. Plagiarism, cheating and fraud, including asking or paying someone to do your academic work is not okay. Students found guilty of academic misconduct receive harsh penalties that can have long-lasting repercussions. Invest your time and energy in strengthening your learning strategies<https://umanitoba.ca/student-supports/academic-supports> and mastering course content. If you are struggling, reach out for help<https://umanitoba.ca/student-supports/academic-supports/academic-learning>. If you have questions and want more information about how to follow university policies and expectations regarding academic work, check out the Academic Integrity site<https://umanitoba.ca/student-supports/academic-supports/academic-integrity>. Be respectful. As members of the UM community, we are all expected to treat each other with respect on campus and within online spaces. Harassment and racist behaviour is completely unacceptable. View this page<https://umanitoba.ca/student-supports/academic-supports/academic-learning/s…> to understand your rights and responsibilities and find out who to contact for help or more information. Stay safe on campus. The university is working towards a slow, safe and practical return to campus. If you do visit one of our campuses, it's important to take necessary precautions, including following public health COVID-19 guidelines and being aware of security measures<https://umanitoba.ca/student-supports/safety-and-security> in place. I encourage you to download the UMSafe<https://umanitoba.ca/campus/security/programs/1375.html> app, check out the Safe Walk Program<http://umanitoba.ca/campus/security/programs/safewalk.html>, and take advantage of reduced casual rates<https://news.umanitoba.ca/parking-permit-fees-reduced-for-staff-and-student…> to park closer to your campus destination. 3-Ply Masks are Mandatory. Please be aware that all members of the University community and those visiting our campuses are now required to wear a 3-ply reusable or disposable mask. This is particularly critical indoors, including study spaces<https://umanitoba.ca/coronavirus/students#protocols-and-need-to-knows-befor…>, so I would ask you to be vigilant in wearing your 3-ply mask to ensure the safety of others. Starting Tuesday, February 16, you can pick up a 3-ply mask Monday through Friday at the following locations: § the Elizabeth Dafoe Library, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. or § UMSU's Service Centre in UMSU University Centre,10 a.m. to 4 p.m. For more information on UM safety measures and protocols scroll down to "Protocols and need-to-knows before you arrive" at this website<https://umanitoba.ca/coronavirus/students>. And, looking ahead, I am excited to share the following news from the Libraries and Kinesiology and Recreation Management! 1.

Consultation survey: Search for a Provost and Vice-President (Academic)
by President's Office 28 Jan '21

28 Jan '21

Good afternoon, As was announced in the fall,<https://news.umanitoba.ca/dr-janice-ristock-not-seeking-renewal-of-her-term/> Dr. Janice Ristock, after an acclaimed three-decade career at the University of Manitoba in a variety of academic and administrative roles, is not seeking an extension or renewal of her term as Provost and Vice-President (Academic) when it ends in June, 2021. We have embarked on the process of selecting a Provost and Vice-President (Academic)<https://news.umanitoba.ca/search-for-a-provost-and-vice-president-academic/> and have retained Laverne Smith & Associates to assist with this search, which will be comprehensive in scope with an integral portion being a process of consultation. Reporting to the President and Vice-Chancellor, the Provost is the university's chief academic officer, providing strategic direction, academic planning leadership, and administrative oversight to drive innovation and academic excellence across the university. Working collaboratively with the Vice-President Administration, the Provost sets budget priorities and is responsible for ensuring that the university's budget supports the academic mission. Collaborating closely with the senior leadership of the university and supported by a strong team of a Deputy Provost and Vice-Provosts, Deans and Directors of Faculties, Schools and Colleges, and senior administrative leaders, the Provost leads a broad and complex portfolio of academic and academic support units. Advancing, transforming, and supporting academic priorities, goals, and programs, the Provost will foster an equitable and diverse environment that allows teaching, learning, and research excellence to flourish. On behalf of the advisory committee I have struck to advise on candidates for the role and on the position more generally, I ask for your assistance in gathering information to support the process. Your input is being requested by the close of business February 11, 2021. Please click here<https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/UManitobaProvost> to complete a brief questionnaire to be returned to Laverne Smith & Associates. All responses will be held in strict confidence by the consultant and the inclusion of your name is optional. As this is a very important matter for the University, your input is critical and I would ask you to take the few minutes required to help us in this important undertaking. I would like to thank you for your time and input into this important leadership appointment.

Invitation to Participate in a Research Study: Cross-Canada Release of the Post-Secondary Student Stressors Index (PSSI)
by Jake Rose 18 Jan '21

18 Jan '21

Dear Student, You are invited to participate in a cross-Canada research study to evaluate post-secondary student stress led by Dr. Brooke Linden (Principal Investigator, Queen’s University). The Post-Secondary Student Stressors Index (PSSI) was designed to help post-secondary institutions across Canada better target campus mental health services, with the ultimate goal of improving mental health outcomes for students. To ensure that the PSSI would serve students in the best possible way, students were involved heavily throughout the development and testing of this tool. Now it’s time to use the PSSI at post-secondary institutions across Canada to improve our understanding of the types of stressors students are managing in different parts of the country. We are looking for student volunteers to complete an online survey a few times over the course of the 2020-2021 academic year. The first survey was conducted in October. We are now looking for volunteers to complete the survey in January and in March. If you did not participate in the survey in October, you can still participate this month! The survey should take you about 20 mins to complete. As a thank you for participating, you will have the opportunity to submit your e-mail into a draw after each survey for a chance to win one of several $25-$50 gift cards. If you are interested in participating, please read the attached Letter of Information below prior to completing the survey. The survey can be accessed at the following link: https://queensu.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_42upGHEhmMsPrmd Sincerely, Dr. Brooke Linden, PhD Project Principal Investigator Queen’s University
