Greetings Students,

We invite you to participate in an online survey about your experiences at the University of Manitoba (UM). This survey is an important step in helping us better understand what it’s like to live, learn, and work at UM. We want to know:

* Do you feel you belong at UM? Within your academic program or home unit? * Do you enjoy being on UM campuses? Why or why not? * Are you satisfied with your academic or career progress? * Do you think UM is honouring its commitments?

Your response matters. Experience isn’t the same for everyone, and your participation will help us:

* Identify areas of systemic inequity and develop necessary actions * Measure progress on University goals and priorities * Ensure the University remains accountable to the UM community

Your Participation The deadline to complete the survey is October 6th, 2025. Your participation is completely voluntary. You do not have to participate in this survey. If you choose to participate, you may skip any question you do not feel comfortable answering (by selecting the "choose not to answer" option) and you may exit the survey at any time by closing your browser window. Your responses to this survey are confidential. To protect your privacy, all statistical responses will be aggregated and any identifying details included in written responses will be removed prior to results reporting.

Support UM Food Bank By participating, you will be supporting the UM Food Bank. For every 1,000 people who take part in this survey, the UM Food Bank will receive $500, up to a maximum of $4,000.
