Message from David T. Barnard, President and Vice-Chancellor
by all-students＠lists.umanitoba.ca 19 Nov '12

19 Nov '12

LH masthead.jpg At the University of Manitoba, we have made being an employer of choice one of our top priorities. Thanks to you, we are making significant strides in achieving this objective. Our goal is to ensure we have the best people possible to do an even better job of building bigger futures for our students. As you have may have already seen in Saturday's edition of the Winnipeg Free Press, we have been named one of Manitoba's Top 25 Employers. Past recipients include the very best of our province's private and public institutions, including Boeing Canada, New Flyer Industries, Manitoba Hydro and True North Sports & Entertainment. We are proud to be recognized among this select group of exceptional employers that consistently produce world-class results. They do so by creating a workplace atmosphere that attracts and retains the very best talent. We were assessed based on eight criteria, including physical workplace; work atmosphere; health, financial and family benefits; vacation and time off; employee communications; performance management; training and skills management; and community involvement. The creation of an outstanding workplace is a shared responsibility. I have often said the University of Manitoba is a great place because the cause and the company are great. We are transforming the lives of our students and we have the privilege of working with remarkable people. I am asking you again to help us as we strive to be an even more outstanding employer. This fall, we released our first-ever Outstanding Workplace Strategy and Plan. Please go to www.unmanitoba.ca/outstanding_workplace to learn more about the plan and to provide your input on how we can make further improvements to our strategy. Thank you again for your commitment to the University of Manitoba. You make it a pleasure to come to come to work each day and I want all of you to feel as valued and excited about your experience here as I do. David David T.

National Philanthropy Day
by all-students＠lists.umanitoba.ca 15 Nov '12

15 Nov '12

Dear faculty, staff and students at the University of Manitoba, Today, November 15, we celebrate National Philanthropy Day (NPD) across the country. This annual event began in the United States in 1986 as special day to honour 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. Earlier this month, thegovernment of Canada passed a new bill to permanently establish November 15 as National Philanthropy Day in our country. At the University of Manitoba, we are thankful to our faculty, staff and students for their contributions. In countless ways, your generosity has made a positive impact on our university, our community and our world. All over the world, celebrations are being held to honour philanthropists and volunteers who make a difference in their communities. The Association of Fundraising Professionals, Manitoba Chapter will be recognizing a number of people who are committed to improving life in our province. Among them are two of our graduates: John Prystanski (BA/88, JD/12) is being honoured for his work as an Outstanding Volunteer Fundraiser and Mark Evans (BCSc [Hons]/84), MSc/86, PhD/88) is being honoured for his work as an Outstanding Philanthropist. These are just two members of the University of Manitoba community who volunteer their time and their talents to make our neighbourhoods and workplaces better places to live and to work. Our world is better because individuals and groups care enough to make a difference. Thank you for your support of our university and our wider community. If you want to learn more about how philanthropy has benefitted our university, please visit http://myuminfo.umanitoba.ca/index.asp?sec=440. Sincerely, John Kearsey John E.
