Good afternoon,

Yesterday members of the University of Manitoba community gathered on the Fort Garry campus to discuss recent events in an open and safe environment.  A similar event will take place on the Bannatyne campus on Thursday, February 2 from 10:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. in the Frederic Gaspard Theatre. 

The event will be hosted by President David Barnard and include remarks from a number of student and University of Manitoba community leaders. Everyone attending is encouraged to participate in any way they feel comfortable, through speaking, sharing or listening.

All students, staff and faculty are invited to attend. Students, faculty and staff who have questions should contact the International Office to speak with an international advisor (phone 204-474-8501 or email international@umanitoba.ca to set up an appointment). Further support is available for students from the Student Counselling Centre and Financial Aid and Awards.

Sincerely,

David
