Happy first week of school!

I am reaching out to let you know that applications for the Community Leadership Development Program are now open and are closing September 20^th at 11:59pm.

This program is for you if you want to start a new student group or initiative and engage your community to:

Create safer spaces by-and-for systemically marginalized students.

Work towards social justice.

Incorporate equity, diversity, inclusivity, and access (EDIA).

Apply as a team of at least three and meet weekly with your mentor to learn how to more effectively work with your community.

For more information or to apply, head to the Community Leadership Development Program website. Feel free to reach out to Madison.reed@umanitoba.ca with any questions.

Looking forward to seeing your application!

Student Affairs – We empower learners to achieve their highest potential

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.
