Dear University of Manitoba Community,

Thank you for joining us at the first Strategic Research Planning Session, during which we introduced the Strategic Research Planning Committee and the engagement questions to start our conversation.

We invite you to attend the second Community Engagement Session as we continue our Strategic Research Planning process.

Facilitated by members of the Strategic Research Planning Committee, this session will allow for interactive small group discussions to address key questions related to Indigenous Research. 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. Participants will also have a chance to provide their thoughts anonymously using sticky notes, which will be shared with the Committee.

We hope to see you there.

Date: Tuesday, March 7, 2023, at 10:30am Location: Marshall McLuhan Hall, Room 204, Second Floor, UMSU University Centre, Fort Garry Campus
