by President's Office 10 Aug '23

10 Aug '23

Message from Michael Benarroch, President and Vice-Chancellor and Diane Hiebert-Murphy, Provost and Vice-President (Academic) [Image] Dear UM community, During the month of June, over 180 community members-including Senate, Board of Governors, students, faculty, staff, alumni, and stakeholder groups-contributed their feedback to the Where We Are Today report.<https://umanitoba.ca/sites/default/files/2023-06/UMStrategicPlan-WhereWeAre…> Through an online feedback form and in-person community consultation sessions, you were invited to tell us whether the priorities captured in the Where We Are Today report resonated with what was said during community consultation sessions in February and the online feedback form available in March. We continue to be inspired by and grateful for your thoughtful feedback. The feedback on the Where We Are Today report, now available in the Where We Are Today Addendum<https://umanitoba.ca/sites/default/files/2023-08/StrategicPlan-WhereWeAreTo…>, continues to showcase our share commitment to knowledge, research, community well-being, Reconciliation, and inclusivity. Despite areas of differing views-which reflect the strength and diversity of our community-common themes continued to emerge, such as prioritizing climate action, supporting the academic mission, and embracing diversity. Your input has been, and will continue to be, an important part in guiding our path forward, and we are committed to incorporating your feedback and big ideas as we work on the next strategic plan for the University of Manitoba. We will be sharing a draft plan with the community in the Fall Term for further consultation as we start to identify and frame our community's shared aspirations. Once again, thank you to all who have participated in the consultation process for the University of Manitoba's strategic plan so far, as well as our Strategic Planning Committee for their ongoing commitment and guidance. Continue to watch the UM Strategic Plan website<https://umanitoba.ca/strategic-plan> for updates and upcoming opportunities to provide feedback on the strategic planning process. We hope you will continue to let us know what you think and continue to dream big. Sincerely, [A picture containing text, font, screenshot, handwriting Description automatically generated]

Notification of controlled detonation on Fort Garry campus
by President's Office 30 Jun '23

30 Jun '23

[cid:image001.png@01D9AB41.62C08B70] Notification of controlled detonation on Fort Garry campus Out of an abundance of caution, City of Winnipeg Emergency Services have decided to proceed with a controlled detonation to address the presence of a potentially unstable chemical found in Parker Building this morning. The controlled detonation will take place after 4:00 PM at an outdoor location, secured by Emergency Services and university personnel. There will be no impact on air quality. It is difficult to predict how loud this event will be for those on campus, but it is expected to sound similar to a loud firework. A safe perimeter has been established, and everyone is asked to respect the boundaries in place. If you are experiencing unease as a result of today's events, please speak with your supervisor about working remotely for the remainder of the day. Supervisors are encouraged to be flexible and support remote work in light of these events. Regular use of Parker and other affected buildings will resume following cleanup, which is expected to be complete later this afternoon. The disposal is being carried out in the safest possible manner in partnership with Emergency Services. The university will review all chemical storage protocols following this discovery and ensure we have every necessary practice in place to support the safe storage of all substances.

Notification of chemical safety precaution
by President's Office 30 Jun '23

30 Jun '23

[cid:image001.png@01D9AB41.62C08B70] Notification of chemical safety precaution This morning the Environmental Health & Safety Office received notification from the Faculty of Science that a small amount of chemical in a potentially unstable form was discovered in a storage room. Emergency Services have been notified to assess the situation and are being deployed to campus. Parker and connected buildings are being evacuated to allow Emergency Services including Fire, Police, Ambulance and Hazardous Materials to attend and assess the situation and to determine the safest method of removing the chemical. The evacuation is a precautionary measure taken to safeguard the health and safety of our faculty, staff, and students. Once the substance is removed, it will be safe to resume use of Parker and connected buildings. We understand the concerns and anxieties that may arise from the evacuation and presence of emergency responders. Please be assured that our utmost priority is maintaining a safe and secure environment for all members of the University of Manitoba community. We will provide updates as soon as more information becomes available. Thank you for your cooperation and understanding.

Now, just this week, your peers at the University of Waterloo have experienced a heinous act of violence on their campus. We offer them our deepest sympathies and reassurance that we are united in solidarity against hate. Universities should be spaces dedicated to the peaceful pursuit of knowledge and the well-being of others. This tragic incident reminds us of the importance of upholding the values we hold dear and reinforces our unwavering commitment to fostering an inclusive, safe, and welcoming environment for all members of our diverse community. At the University of Manitoba, we firmly believe in the power of equity, respect, and human dignity for all. To our community members who experience targeted violence and hatred, we acknowledge your experiences. To all our community members, know that our university has robust safety protocols<https://umanitoba.ca/student-supports/safety-and-security> in place that are regularly reviewed. If you haven't already, I encourage you to become familiar with our emergency quick reference guide<https://umanitoba.ca/security/sites/security/files/2021-05/UM-Emergency-Res…> and to download our safety app for either iOS<https://apps.apple.com/us/app/um-safe/id1491182847> or Android.<https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cutcom.apparmor.umanitoba…> And please remember, and use if you need, the mental health support<https://umanitoba.ca/student-supports/student-health-and-wellness>s and sexual violence supports<https://umanitoba.ca/sexual-violence> that are available to all students. Our community is working hard to bring about lasting change through advocacy, action, research, and comprehensive policies that reflect our commitment to equity, diversity, and inclusion. And our university is prioritizing education, awareness, and support services to address the root causes of violence, bigotry, and intolerance. Thank you to everyone in our community who takes on this work and makes our campus and our world better with your courage and activism.

Where We Are Today report, ready for your review
by Provost's Office 06 Jun '23

[cid:image001.jpg@01D997BB.3A2AC3E0] Message from Michael Benarroch, President and Vice-Chancellor and Diane Hiebert-Murphy, Provost and Vice-President (Academic) [cid:image002.jpg@01D997BB.3A2AC3E0] Dear UM community, Thank you to all who have participated in the consultation process for the University of Manitoba's strategic plan so far. We are excited to share the Where We Are Today report<https://umanitoba.ca/sites/default/files/2023-06/UMStrategicPlan-WhereWeAre…> for your review and input. The report explains the key themes, priorities, and challenges that emerged from the consultations throughout February and March. The document not only highlights what we have learned so far, but also starts to identify some ways in which our new strategic plan may move things forward. This document is not a draft of the strategic plan, but it is an important milestone that will help us set the aspirational goals that we will work towards together over the next five to ten years. We invite you to read the report and tell us whether the priorities we captured resonate with what the community said. We also need your help to bring these priorities to life in innovative and creative ways. What are the aspirations of our community within this priority framework we've built together? What are we reaching for? What do we want to achieve? What are the big ideas we want UM to be known for that will have lasting impacts? The UM Strategic Plan website<https://umanitoba.ca/strategic-plan> includes details on opportunities to provide feedback on the Where We Are Today report, including through participation in small group community consultation sessions and a link to the online form to provide your thoughts on the key themes and priorities, and share your bold ideas for the future. Your comments will be presented back to the community later in the summer on where we see the university heading and what we aspire to be as we move forward with drafting our next strategic plan. Thank you again to everyone who has contributed to this report through the town hall, community consultation sessions, and survey. Over 1,000 community members (made up of nearly equal parts students and equal parts faculty and staff) completed the online form in March and more than 1,000 community members participated in 60 community consultation sessions held throughout February. We want to hear all your voices to enhance our scholarship, grow our research enterprise, elevate the student experience, advance Reconciliation, and deepen our community engagement. Let us know what you think and continue to dream big. Sincerely, [A picture containing text, font, screenshot, handwriting Description automatically generated]
