As part of our commitment, we are asking students to take a few moments to complete an awareness and perception study. Your answers are valuable to us and will help to ensure students' information needs are met. This survey is being conducted by Academica Group Inc. on our behalf to ensure your individual answers remain confidential. As a thank you for completing the survey, you will be entered into a draw to win one of 16 prizes including: * One prize of a $500 gift card from the University of Manitoba Bookstore, * Five prizes of a $100 gift card from the U of M Bookstore, * 10 prizes of a $50 gift card from the U of M Bookstore. The survey will be conducted over the next few weeks and should take about 10 minutes to complete. You will receive an email from Academica early next week with a link to the survey. Your individual answers will remain confidential. Thank you in advance for your participation.

[Title: U of M Header - Description: Message from Susan M. Gottheil, Vice-Provost (Students)] Due to today's winter storm, we are aware that some students and instructors might be unable to get to campus, or face significant delays, either because of poor driving conditions or public transportation disruptions. Students have been notified to contact their instructor directly to inform them of any issues attending class, a lab, tutorial or studio, or a test. Instructors who are not able to arrive in time for their class, lab or test should contact their class as soon as possible to inform them of the delay (or cancellation if necessary). Department Heads and/or Deans and Directors should also be notified of any cancelations. All updates on this 'snow day' will be communicated on our service disruptions webpage<http://umanitoba.ca/admin/vp_admin/ofp/ohrcm/accessibility/service-disrupti…>, UM Today and Twitter.
