Good afternoon,

I'm hoping you can circulate the attached poster through the Advisor Exchange for me.

My name is Jessica Burzuik and I'm the Métis Inclusion Coordinator. I am an employee of the Manitoba Métis Federation (MMF) but my position is housed here on campus under the Cultural Integration department within the Office of the Vice-President (Indigenous).

My role on campus consists of 4 main pillars:

Helping students apply for funding, through the MMF, U of M, and other external opportunities

Connecting students with both U of M resources and programming and MMF resources and programming

Helping students (re)connect to their Métis identity and find their community on or off campus

Provide Red River Métis-specific cultural programming on campus

Attached is a poster with a little bit of information about my role and contact info if you could please share this with your Métis students, that would be wonderful!

Thank you so much!

Maarsii, thank you,

Jessica Burzuik (She/Her)
