Message from David T. Barnard, President and Vice-Chancellor

19 Nov '12

LH masthead.jpg At the University of Manitoba, we have made being an employer of choice one of our top priorities. Thanks to you, we are making significant strides in achieving this objective. Our goal is to ensure we have the best people possible to do an even better job of building bigger futures for our students. As you have may have already seen in Saturday's edition of the Winnipeg Free Press, we have been named one of Manitoba's Top 25 Employers. Past recipients include the very best of our province's private and public institutions, including Boeing Canada, New Flyer Industries, Manitoba Hydro and True North Sports & Entertainment. We are proud to be recognized among this select group of exceptional employers that consistently produce world-class results. They do so by creating a workplace atmosphere that attracts and retains the very best talent. We were assessed based on eight criteria, including physical workplace; work atmosphere; health, financial and family benefits; vacation and time off; employee communications; performance management; training and skills management; and community involvement. The creation of an outstanding workplace is a shared responsibility. I have often said the University of Manitoba is a great place because the cause and the company are great. We are transforming the lives of our students and we have the privilege of working with remarkable people. I am asking you again to help us as we strive to be an even more outstanding employer. This fall, we released our first-ever Outstanding Workplace Strategy and Plan. Please go to www.unmanitoba.ca/outstanding_workplace to learn more about the plan and to provide your input on how we can make further improvements to our strategy. Thank you again for your commitment to the University of Manitoba. You make it a pleasure to come to come to work each day and I want all of you to feel as valued and excited about your experience here as I do. David David T.

Dear faculty, staff and students at the University of Manitoba, Today, November 15, we celebrate National Philanthropy Day (NPD) across the country. This annual event began in the United States in 1986 as special day to honour the impact of people who give generously to support causes that are important to them or volunteer their time to make a difference in their community. Earlier this month, thegovernment of Canada passed a new bill to permanently establish November 15 as National Philanthropy Day in our country. At the University of Manitoba, we are thankful to our faculty, staff and students for their contributions. In countless ways, your generosity has made a positive impact on our university, our community and our world. All over the world, celebrations are being held to honour philanthropists and volunteers who make a difference in their communities. The Association of Fundraising Professionals, Manitoba Chapter will be recognizing a number of people who are committed to improving life in our province. Among them are two of our graduates: John Prystanski (BA/88, JD/12) is being honoured for his work as an Outstanding Volunteer Fundraiser and Mark Evans (BCSc [Hons]/84), MSc/86, PhD/88) is being honoured for his work as an Outstanding Philanthropist. These are just two members of the University of Manitoba community who volunteer their time and their talents to make our neighbourhoods and workplaces better places to live and to work. Our world is better because individuals and groups care enough to make a difference. Thank you for your support of our university and our wider community.

2012 Fall Term Voluntary Withdrawal deadline November 14
by all-students＠lists.umanitoba.ca 07 Nov '12

07 Nov '12

[Description: bw_horizontal[1]] Registrar's Office November 7, 2012 To all U of Manitoba students... Reminder: Voluntary Withdrawal Deadline for Fall Term Courses is Wednesday, November 14, 2012 The deadline for Voluntary Withdrawal from Fall Term courses taught during the standard term is Wednesday, November 14. VW's must be done through Aurora Student and can be done up to 11:59 PM. Courses taught outside the standard term will have different VW deadlines - check with your faculty. Note: If you are On Hold for outstanding tuition, library books, parking fines, etc. you will not be able to access the Registration function in Aurora to VW a course. If you are On Hold and plan to VW, you must either first clear your Hold so that you can access the Registration functions in Aurora, or you must contact your academic advising office for assistance in dropping the course. New: As part of the University of Manitoba's commitment to providing an excellent learning experience for students, we would like to know why you have chosen not to complete a course or courses. Students who choose to VW will be asked to complete a brief confidential survey on the reason(s) for withdrawal. The information gathered will help us to determine if there is information or resources that may have helped you complete your courses successfully. Think before you drop... You may decide to VW from a class for a variety of reasons. Common situations include: * The course subject matter was not the same as originally expected; * Your overall course load is too demanding - withdrawing from one class will leave more time for others; * Your program focus has changed and the course is no longer required; * Your mid-term grades were not satisfactory - and you think withdrawing is better than receiving a low or failed grade. Before you decide to VW from a class, be sure to: * Talk with your course instructor about your concerns and if there are strategies for improvement before the end of term; * Talk to an academic advisor about your course load, study strategies, and options for possibly repeating the course later; * Be aware of course load requirements and implications of VW - if you have a government student loan, are a sponsored student, a Bison athlete or are in any other type of situation that requires a minimum course load; * Refer to the U1 Start Book<http://umanitoba.ca/student/u1/startbook/index.html> or the UM Calendar<http://crscalprod1.cc.umanitoba.ca/Catalog/ViewCatalog.aspx?pageid=viewcata…> to make sure you know where that course fits into your intended or current program; * Check to see if the course is required as a prerequisite for upper-level courses within your program; * Look at the Winter Term schedule to see if the course is offered again this year. Please contact an academic advisor<http://umanitoba.ca/student/records/tutorial/academic-advisors.html> to discuss your concerns and options.

Protect your degree! Participate in a national survey on academic integrity
by all-students＠lists.umanitoba.ca 06 Nov '12

06 Nov '12

Dear University of Manitoba Student, The University of Manitoba has agreed to participate in an important national study on academic integrity being conducted by Julia Christensen Hughes from the University of Guelph and Don McCabe of Rutgers University. The purpose of this study is to identify what types of questionable academic behaviours students most report engaging in and what types of behaviours are perceived to be most frequently occurring by students, faculty and TAs. Ideas for what can be done to enhance cultures of integrity on Canadian university campuses will also be solicited. It is important that such behaviours and ideas be identified so that policies and practices can be developed that will help to protect the integrity of the academic experience and ensure a level playing field amongst students. Your participation will contribute to the national study as well as help the University of Manitoba identify what more it can be doing to help protect the integrity of your degree! Please click on the below link if you are interested in the research. You will be taken to the consent form for the survey (including detailed information about the study), and then the survey itself, should you wish to participate. Participants are entitled to enter a prize draw for a U of M Bookstore gift card. A draw will be made for three gift cards valued at $300, $200, and $100.

Message from David T. Barnard, President and Vice-Chancellor-We Day
by all-students＠lists.umanitoba.ca 29 Oct '12

29 Oct '12

LH masthead.jpg Tomorrow is We Day and we are very excited that the University of Manitoba is a Platinum Sponsor of this inspiring event. It will bring 18,000 students and teachers to the MTS Centre to focus on how they can help build a better world. The values of local and global social activism and outreach that are at the heart of the We Day experience are part of our daily life at the University of Manitoba. This event gives us the opportunity to showcase our mission, our values and our programs to an audience of outstanding young people that we would be proud to have as students. We have a lot to offer them. University of Manitoba students have the opportunity to travel and learn through 138 exchange agreements with institutions in 35 countries. There are more than 100 campus groups where students can pursue their passion in community development, the arts, scientific discovery, leadership and entrepreneurship. The opportunities we can offer our students lead to fuller and richer lives for those of us who work here as well. We help build bigger futures for our students and contribute to the cultural, social and economic well-being of our community, province, country and world. We are proud that members of our community are contributing to We Day in a variety of ways. Tito Daodou, a fourth-year student in the Faculty of Medicine and recent winner of the Nahlah Ayad Prize for Global Citizenship, will join former Soviet President Mikhail Gorbachev, alumnus Justice Murray Sinclair and Ladybug Foundation founder Hannah Taylor as speakers who will inspire young people to take action at home and abroad. Olympic bronze medallist and proud Bison Desiree Scott will also be at the University of Manitoba booth at We Day to sign autographs and share her story of triumph this summer on the soccer fields of London, England. In addition, 20 of our staff are volunteering at We Day and their contributions will help ensure the success of the event. The response to our call for action was overwhelming and it is gratifying to know that the university community shares our enthusiasm. Although we won't all be there in person, we hope our entire community can participate in We Day. We are installing a Pledge Wall at University Centre that will allow students, faculty and staff the opportunity to post and share their commitment to social change. I encourage you to show your We Day spirit by posting your pledges tomorrow and Wednesday. Sincerely, David David T.
