Subject: [Advisor-exchange] Charge Ahead Peer Mentor Support
Hello UM Advisors!
Charge Ahead is up and running again for the Winter 2024 term. There are 24 appointment slots available each week, so students are likely to find an appointment time that works for them. We have three undergraduate mentors and one graduate mentor available. The mentors are also running a workshop series on Tuesdays (1:00-2:15) from January 23 - February 14. Our website<https://umanitoba.ca/student-supports/academic-supports/charge-ahead> includes a link to our booking calendar as well as workshop registration information. Please pass this information along to any students you think would benefit! We have found the most common reason for students attending is staff referrals, so it very much makes a difference.
Thanks again for your continued support!

Subject: External Graduate Student Scholarship Opportunity
Caution: This message was sent from outside the University of Manitoba.
Good afternoon,
I am contacting you on behalf of my organization, rare Charitable Research Reserve, with the hope you can advertise a scholarship opportunity to graduate students. If you aren't familiar with us, rare is a 1200+ acre urban land trust located in Waterloo Region with goals in conservation, research, and education. We have been a field site for over 81 projects in a variety of disciplines, at no cost to the researcher.
To support student research, we offer a scholarship and bursary program (see attached flyer) as well as accommodations to graduate students conducting field research on the property. Check out our website (https://raresites.org/research/) to see some of the ongoing or past research.
If you would like more information about rare as a research site, please feel free to contact me.
Best,
Aleksandra

Hi Plant Grads,
Consider volunteering with Agriculture In The Classroom this March - even meeting one classroom helps!
AITC is currently short on volunteers - there are 184 classrooms registered this March and only 60 volunteers to accommodate (volunteers can make as many presentations as they'd like). There are also 33 French presentation requests and only 10 accounted for.
See the attachments for more information. AITC is a fulfilling and refreshing experience, as well as a great addition to any CV!
Thank you, and happy new year,
