Hi everyone, 

I know things are shutting down for the holiday break but I wanted to send you all a reminder that the St John’s College Residence has rooms available for the winter term so if you are aware of any students looking for housing on campus, please let them know we have spaces available. Below is a letter from Matthew Bowman, our Dean of Residence, with more details and contact information.

Hello to the Advisor Exchange,

As the January 2024 semester approaches, students attending UM worldwide seek accommodations as they begin their studies. In helping these students find accommodations, we are reaching out today to encourage you to send students to St John’s College Residence. 

St John’s College Residence

The College Residence is a small community of 100 students where we host students from various faculties, including Science, Arts, Business, Nursing, First Year Students, ICM, and other areas. Our Residence is all single rooms and includes a complete meal plan, with breakfast, lunch, and dinner on weekdays and brunch and dinner on weekends. The community includes students of all ages and locations, including those from Manitoba, other provinces, and other countries. Residence dons are on call every night, ready to respond to emergencies and counsel students through homesickness, conflicts with friends, illness, etc., and the St John’s College Residence Council provides leadership opportunities and organizes education and social events. 

More information about Residence applications and rates can be found here.  

St John’s College Membership and Experience

In addition to our Residence, St John’s College offers student memberships to those looking for a small community on the UM campus to study, meet friends, and receive financial support. Through our student membership, the College offers benefits such as $180,000 worth of scholarships and bursaries each year, discounts on our food and beverage services, monthly events held by our student council, and access to study carrels. 

Students can become members of the College here. Scholarship and bursary information can be found here. 

Questions and Further Information

For questions about Residence, please contact me at (204) 474-8363 or matthew.bowman@umanitoba.ca. I would happily arrange a tour of the College and Residence for yourself or with a group of interested students. 

To request that print materials (posters, brochures, etc.) about the College, Scholarships, and Residence be mailed to you, please contact Marissa Naylor, Marketing and Communications Officer, at marissa.naylor@umanitoba.ca. 

Thank you for all the work that you do for UM students.
