Hi everyone, I hope this email finds you well!

As incoming students begin to accept offers of admission for the 2024/25 academic year, some will be looking for residential accommodation on campus. I'm reaching out to you to highlight availability in St John's Residence (located centrally on campus at 17 Sifton Rd.) and to ask if you would be able to assist in encouraging your students to consider our Residence.

About St John's Residence

St John's Residence is a small, 100-bed community-focused on-campus residence. Each year the Residence hosts a diverse mix of students for all faculties studying at both undergraduate and graduate levels, along with occasional post-doctoral researchers and visiting scholars. The Residence features single-occupancy rooms and includes a comprehensive meal plan, offering students a home away from home where they can feel safe and secure, and focus on their academic studies.

The community includes students of all ages and locations, including those from Manitoba, other provinces, and other countries. A well-trained student staff of Residence Dons are on-call every night, ready to respond to emergencies, and counsel students through issues such as homesickness, interpersonal conflict, and connecting with on-campus resources. The St John's College Residence Council provides leadership opportunities and organizes education and social events.

As the University community welcomes the incoming 2024/25 cohort to campus, I would greatly appreciate if you could inform your students about Residencehttps://umanitoba.ca/st-johns-college/residence.
