by Mandalyn Unger 22 Oct '25

22 Oct '25

Next Tuesday, join the Social Justice Hub for our monthly drop-in! If you're looking for a friendly place to meet community on campus who care about the same issues you do, bring your lunch and come ready to discuss the issues of the day. Last month, students, staff, and faculty discussed mutual aid organizing on campus; the role of faith in social justice work; and how fundraising can help and hinder student organizing. To attend, come to the CEL office, 203-55 Chancellor's Circle, from 12-1:30pm on Tues, Oct 28th. See you there! ________________________________ From: Mandalyn Unger <Mandalyn.Unger(a)umanitoba.ca> Sent: September 5, 2025 3:56:54 PM (UTC-06:00) Central Time (US & Canada) To: Anny Chen <Anny.Chen(a)umanitoba.ca>; Mir Tarannum <Sanjana.Tarannum(a)umanitoba.ca>; Madison Reed <Madison.Reed(a)umanitoba.ca>; Moon Fast <Moon.Fast(a)umanitoba.ca> Cc: Em Tardiff-Breen <Em.TardiffBreen(a)umanitoba.ca>; Johann Tan <Johann.Tan(a)umanitoba.ca>; Lauren Hallett <lauren.hallett(a)umanitoba.ca>; Mackenzie Mckay <Mackenzie.Mckay(a)umanitoba.ca>; Sofiyyah Kelani <sofiyyah.kelani(a)umanitoba.ca>; Tara Skochyles <Tara.Skochyles(a)umanitoba.ca> Subject: Social Justice Hub Monthly Drop-in When: October 28, 2025 12:00 PM-1:30 PM.
