Good Morning Everyone,
I'm very pleased to share that Jennifer Mitchell has been hired as the new First Year Advising and Communications Lead, within the Student Transitions and Success Centre!
Jen has been working as an FYC academic advisor since summer of 2024, when she joined our team after holding positions in a number of UM units doing great work in support of students. Jen brings to the position her keen eye for detail and excellent organizational skills. She is highly collaborative and has shared her excitement around connecting with the larger UM community around first year initiatives and communications. Most importantly, her solid foundational knowledge around the timing, tone, and methods for communicating critical messages to first year UM students, makes her a natural fit for this position.
Please be sure to include @Jennifer Mitchellmailto:Jennifer.Mitchell@umanitoba.ca in groups, Teams, meetings, and discussions around communicating with all UM students, but in particular first and second year students, and our Bison student-athletes. Work on next year's First Year Planning Guide and other signature FYC resources for our next intake of students will begin soon, so many of you will hear from Jen in the coming weeks as she dives into her new responsibilities.
I am excited to welcome Jen to the Student Transitions and Success Centre's leadership team, and I hope you'll join me in congratulating Jen on her new role. Please share this message with those who would benefit from this exciting news.
Best,
Ali
