Good Morning UM Advisors!
I thought I'd share that UM Today includes an article entitled : Support for unforeseen circumstances during exam period when you need it most. The article talks about use of the self-dec form for deferred exams and directs students to appropriate resources and supports. You may start to see an increase in students seeking info about what they've read. You can read the article here: https://news.umanitoba.ca/exam-deferral-selfdeclaration/.
Also, a reminder on this Giving Tuesdayhttps://www.givingtuesday.org/ that the UM Foodbank helps over 600 of our students every month! Please include the UM Foodbank when thinking about the ways that we as advisors, can help students, beyond academic advice. The need never stops. The UM Foodbank webpagehttps://umanitoba.ca/financial-aid-and-awards/u-m-food-bank has information and direction on how to donate.
Wishing you warmth on this cold and snowy day!
Ali

I am grateful to the Anishinaabeg, Ininewuk, Anisininewuk, Dakota Oyate, Dene, and the Red River Metis peoples, on whose home lands I live. I am also grateful to the people of Shoal Lake 40 in Treaty 3 territory, whose water I drink.
