Campus Commute survey – we need your input!
by Office of Sustainability 16 Jan '23

16 Jan '23

[University of Manitoba Logo] UM community, UM needs your help to improve your campus commute and inform future transportation planning! Fill out the 2023 Campus Commute survey<http://umanitoba.ca/campuscommute> between January 16 and 31, 2023 for a chance to win a $500 grocery gift certificate or one of ten $50 gift vouchers to Degrees, Campo or Starbucks. Results of the Campus Commute Survey inform strategic planning around transportation related infrastructure, education and peer-based programs in support of climate action, sustainability and wellness goals. This year’s Campus Commute Survey also includes questions to help us better understand our greenhouse gas emissions from commuting and air travel and to inform future strategies for the UM Climate Action Plan. The UM Climate Action Plan is a new framework that will help us halve our greenhouse gas emissions by 2030, and become carbon neutral by 2050. In 2019, 29% of our total emissions were generated from transportation related to commuting, business and research travel, and fleet vehicles. Take the 2023 Campus Commute Survey now<https://survey.alchemer-ca.com/s3/50127303/2022-UofM-Commuting-Survey>. This survey is approved by the UM Survey Review Committee and administered by the Green Action Centre. All responses are completely confidential and only aggregated results are reported back to the University. The Green Action Centre<https://greenactioncentre.ca/> is a non-profit, NGO, with primary areas of work in green commuting, composting and waste reduction, sustainable living and resource conservation. They provide specialized expertise and intricate data analysis and calculations for greenhouse gas emissions, and support transportation surveys and strategies for many other organizations including the City of Winnipeg. UM has a longstanding relationship with the Green Action Centre, which has supported previous UM Campus Commute surveys, and provides informed recommendations based on survey results. The survey is organized biennially by the Office of Sustainability. Previous surveys took place in 2020<https://news.umanitoba.ca/highlighting-campus-transportation/>, 2018<https://news.umanitoba.ca/2018-campus-commute-survey/> and 2016<https://news.umanitoba.ca/in-a-nutshell-commuting-to-the-u-of-m/> (inaugural). Thank you for your feedback, [cid:image004.png@01D929A2.DF278450] Mark Torchia, Vice-Provost (Teaching and Learning) [cid:image005.png@01D929A2.DF278450] Raman Dhaliwal, Associate Vice-President (Administration) Co-Chairs of the UM Sustainability Committee

Strategic Plan update

[cid:image002.png@01D92737.78F4E460] Message from Dr. Michael Benarroch, President and Vice-Chancellor and Diane Hiebert-Murphy, Provost and Vice-President (Academic) Dear University of Manitoba community, We are pleased to announce that UM is embarking on the process to develop our new university strategic plan. As we emerge from the pandemic, we can now come together to ask ourselves how we best focus our attention and resources toward shared goals. The world has changed significantly since we created Taking Our Place<https://umanitoba.ca/sites/default/files/2020-06/um-strategic-plan-2015-202…> more than seven years ago. Now is the time to come together to ask ourselves how we will bring about the most needed change in this new era-how we will inspire and advance big ideas and solve the world's pressing problems. University strategic plan process and consultations We are co-chairing a broadly representative Strategic Planning Committee to lead internal and external consultations and draft the plan. The full membership of the committee and its terms of reference can be found on the strategic plan website<https://umanitoba.ca/strategic-plan>. We have also sought the expertise of Alex Usher and his team at Higher Education Strategy Associates (HESA) to support our work. They have helped us design the consultation process, provided a brief on trends in the sector, are providing ongoing support to our facilitators, and will help interpret the results of the consultation that will lead to our final plan. Town Hall January 26 We are excited to launch this process with a Town Hall. Please join us in person or virtually: January 26, from 9:30-10:45 a.m. Multi-Purpose Room of UMSU University Centre Alex Usher from HESA will share an environmental scan that will help inform our discussions going forward. We will also provide an update on the consultation process, and welcome feedback from those participating in-person or online. Please watch for more details closer to the event. Ongoing opportunities to engage We will begin the consultation process later this month and it will continue into the first week of March 2023. There will be many opportunities to engage including consultation sessions and online surveys, and we encourage you take part. This is your university, and it needs your unique perspectives-your big ideas-to enhance our scholarship across disciplines, grow our research enterprise, elevate the student experience, advance Reconciliation, and deepen our community engagement. Check your emails and the website<https://umanitoba.ca/strategic-plan> to monitor ways you can take part in this process. We look forward to working with you over the coming months, and thank you for your commitment to our mission as the research university for Manitoba.

[cid:image001.png@01D92419.9A64A610] Message from Dr. Michael Benarroch, President and Vice-Chancellor Happy New Year! Welcome back. I hope everyone enjoyed a restful break. As we look forward, I'm excited for what we'll achieve together in 2023. Last year offered much to be proud of. We had a very successful return to in-person teaching and learning, celebrated many awards, made incredible breakthroughs in research, and contributed to our province and beyond in remarkable ways. 2022 also saw a record-setting nine Vanier Scholars<https://news.umanitoba.ca/vanier2022/>, an incredible federal investment<https://news.umanitoba.ca/national-centre-for-truth-and-reconciliation-welc…'s,home%20and%20long%20term%20work&text=Residential%20school%20Survivors%20and%20the,at%20the%20University%20of%20Manitoba.> in the future of the National Centre for Truth and Reconciliation<https://nctr.ca/> and a transformational gift<https://news.umanitoba.ca/gatesfoundation/> from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation for UM researchers' work to improve maternal and newborn health in India. Together, we're making progress on our Reconciliation Action Plan, our Anti-Racism Strategy, and much work is being done to ensure our campus is a safe space where everyone can dream big. Thank you to all our faculty, staff, coaches, mentors and students for consistently striving for excellence in every endeavor. One of the most important initiatives we will undertake together this year is creating the next iteration of our strategic plan. We will offer many opportunities for you to engage, and I look forward to sharing details with you on the process later this month. Our efforts matter greatly to students, Manitobans, and the global community. We are Manitoba's research university and I am deeply proud to lead this institution and to champion how we collectively enhance our entire province. Finally, thank you for continuing to wear masks. Your respectful participation in this effort really does matter and contributes to the wellbeing of our community. We will not continue the mask mandate indefinitely, but for now, it is the right thing to do to help keep our community safe. Here's to our collective wellness and success in 2023! Thank you. Miigwetch.
