Write-on-line
Monday and Thursday morning Write-On-Sites are now Write-ON-LINES. Write-on-sites have gone virtual to prioritize public health and safety while still maintaining our sense of connection during these isolating times. Virtual write-on-sites will continue every Monday and Thursday from 9 am to 12 pm. Everyone is welcome to write together, apart. Please email Serenity at: joo@cc.umanitoba.ca for the Zoom invite.
Microgrants
Recipients for the second round have been notified of the results, and an announcement will be on the UMIH website soon!
Other Events & Opportunities:
UM Press: Book Sale! If you love a good book sale, UM Press is offering a 30% discount on Fall 2019 and Spring 2020 books that would have debuted at spring and summer conferences and association meetings, cancelled due to COVID-19. Use the code CONFERENCE30 at checkout for ALL Fall 2019 and Spring 2020 titles!
UM Libraries: Curbside Pickup In more good book news, UM Libraries have launched a curbside pickup service, operating from the shipping entrance of Dafoe Library. The service includes materials from all libraries on both campuses. Currently it is only available to faculty, graduate students, and postdoctoral students, however an expanded service for undergraduate students is being tentatively planned for September. Information on how this service will work and how to request materials is available on UML’s We’ll Get It For Youhttps://libguides.lib.umanitoba.ca/c.php?g=717736 service page which is found on our COVID-19 pagehttps://libguides.lib.umanitoba.ca/covid-19-libraryaccess.
With the university closure, UMIH is maintaining regular office hours from home, Monday-Friday, 8:30am - 4:30pm. Please send an email if you have any questions. Or if you have an idea for humanities-related programming and you want some help getting it off the ground. The UMIH voicemail is also being checked regularly if you prefer to call.
Take care, friends!
