[cid:image003.png@01DB5DCB.2F6760D0] Message from Laurie Schnarr, Vice-Provost (Students) Happy New Year and welcome back, Bisons! I hope you had a restful break and 2025 has greeted you kindly. Whether you are beginning your studies<https://www.umanitoba.ca/current-students/um-commons> or continuing on your UM journey, I hope you are ready for the upcoming term. At the University of Manitoba there are many personal and academic supports<https://umanitoba.ca/student-supports> available for all undergraduate and graduate students, and I encourage you to check them out. As Winter Term begins, there are many activities, programs, and events designed to engage you and to promote wellness and academic success. Be sure to explore the many opportunities<https://umanitoba.ca/student-supports/get-involved/experience-record> within your courses and beyond<https://umanitoba.ca/student-supports/get-involved>. Stay connected with what is happening on campus by regularly checking your UM student e-mail (every Tuesday there is a new issue of Student Weekly<https://umanitoba.ca/student-supports/get-involved/student-weekly-newsletter>) and follow @umstudent on Instagram<https://www.instagram.com/umstudent/> and TikTok<https://www.tiktok.com/@umstudent>. For new international students, the International Centre<https://umanitoba.ca/international> is hosting several Welcome Events<https://umanitoba.ca/international/orientation#welcome-events> between January 8 and January 13 to help new international students make the transition to UM and to Winnipeg. Graduate Student Orientation workshops will be held on Thursday, January 9. These sessions offer an introduction to Graduate Studies, with helpful information provided by the Dean, Security Services, and the UMGSA and HSGSA teams. Other topics include: understanding your rights as a graduate student, working with your advisor, writing at the graduate level, Libraries orientation, and more. Register<https://applygrad.umanitoba.ca/portal/fort_garry> today! Attending to your physical and mental health and well-being is important. Check out supports available for you<https://umanitoba.ca/student-supports?utm_campaign=sgweb&utm_content=studen…> including dropping by the Student Wellness Centre<https://umanitoba.ca/student-supports/student-wellness> at 162 Extended Education Building, and stay informed with their programming and supports. As a student, you have access to state-of-the-art fitness facilities<https://umanitoba.ca/community/sport-recreation/recreation-services> in a welcoming and inclusive environment, conveniently located on campus.

UM’s Libraries offer a variety of supports for students, whether it be helping with assignments<https://news.umanitoba.ca/libraries-help-students-writing/> or printing documents<https://umanitoba.ca/libraries/print>. I encourage all students to make use of the many services<https://umanitoba.ca/libraries/help-and-services> offered by our Libraries throughout the Winter term. For those considering career possibilities, UM’s Annual Career Fair<https://www.umanitoba.ca/career-services/career-fairs/um-career-fair> cohosted by Career Services and the Asper School of Business will take place in UMSU University Centre on January 22 and January 23. This is an event for students to network and connect, explore career opportunities, and gain insight into out-of-class experiences that help you develop competencies that are critical to future career or post-graduate success. Throughout the year, Career Services offers a range of invaluable resources to help students find jobs and volunteer positions at the UM and in the community. If you want to develop professional skills this term visit the Career Services site <https://umanitoba.ca/career-services/employment-resources-students> and consult the weekly Get Hired newsletter<https://news.umanitoba.ca/get-hired/>.
