In 1936, University of Manitoba President and Vice-Chancellor Sidney Smith launched a new and exciting communications vehicle, The University Bulletin, to serve our university community.
For the past 77 years, The Bulletin has provided a forum where we could share stories and information about the people, places and events that make our university such a vibrant and exciting place.
Today, we say a fond farewell with a special commemorative edition that you can find at various locations on our campuses.
I want to thank all of you for giving us so many good stories to tell over the years.
The Bulletin has been the equivalent of our village square, the place that gave us our community connection and chronicled our events, success and progress. Thank you and congratulations to the editors, writers, photographers, as well as faculty and staff contributors who worked so hard over the decades to tell those stories.
Our current staff will continue to provide that information in a different forum when we launch UM Today, a dynamic, interactive and mobile-friendly news website. You will hear more about this service to our community in the days ahead.
We hope this special edition provides an opportunity to celebrate and honour this newspaper that has been witness to many changes to our community and has served us all so well. While the presses have stopped rolling, The Bulletin will always hold a special place for us in our memories.
