Hello friends of CEL and the Social Justice Hub,

Will you join us for this event, and/or help us promote it within your student networks?

This special opportunity will benefit any UM student who is passionate about advancing social justice, equity, and anti-oppression on campus. If you know student leaders, whether they are involved in student government, student groups, or simply taking active care of their community members on campus, please share this event with them.

"Pathways for Institutional Change at the UM"

When and Where: Friday, February 27th, 1-2:30pm, Room 108 - Drake Centre

Why attend: Gather with progressive student leaders to share knowledge and build community connections. Ask questions directly to the Vice-Provosts of Equity and Students, Tina Chen and Laurie Schnarr. Whether you are midway through advancing an initiative or unsure how to begin, you can receive information specific to your change goals. The event will include an overview of the UM governance structure, stories of successful student-led campaigns, and a Q&A session.

How to contribute: Submit questions in advance through the registration form. Share the event (calendar, Instagram) with a personal message to invite the students you know who want to make a difference on campus!

Student Affairs – Leaders in cultivating exceptional student experiences!

The University of Manitoba campuses and research spaces are located on original lands of Anishinaabeg, Ininiwak, Anisininewuk, Dakota Oyate, Dene and Inuit, and on the National Homeland of the Red River Métis.

UM recognizes that the Treaties signed on these lands are a lifelong, enduring relationship, and we are dedicated to upholding their spirit and intent. We acknowledge the harms and mistakes of the past and the present. With this understanding, we commit to supporting Indigenous excellence through active Reconciliation, meaningful change, and the creation of an environment where everyone can thrive. Our collaboration with Indigenous communities is grounded in respect and reciprocity and this guides how we move forward as an institution.
