Sent on behalf of Sarah Conci Hello, We are now recruiting applicants for the next cohort of the President’s Student Leadership Program (PSLP),<https://umanitoba.ca/asper/programs-of-study/presidents-student-leadership-…> with a deadline of March 6th. We would greatly appreciate if you would encourage students that you know to apply and share this message with colleagues to encourage their students. PSLP is a co-curricular, fully inclusive development program funded through an endowment to the UM creating the Burns Leadership Institute in 2018. The program is unique in Canada and brings together 24 student fellows from across faculties and disciplines each year, 70% from UM and 30% from other postsecondaries in the province. This will be the eighth cohort of PSLP Fellows, with a vibrant alumni contributing in their fields and communities in exciting ways. We seek applications from students from all subjects and all levels of study (undergraduate to PhD) with demonstrated formal or informal leadership experience, potential, and commitment to learn more. Applicants must not be graduating before April 2027. Pls see selection criteria and eligibility on the Institute website<https://umanitoba.ca/asper/programs-of-study/presidents-student-leadership-…>. Our research suggests that personal encouragement from faculty members, heads, directors, and advisors is highly significant in leading students to apply. Further, we ask for two detailed testimonials, one of which must be from a professor, Dean, instructor, or other academic. Please feel free to share this message and attachments among your colleagues and student advisors, and don’t hesitate to contact us with any questions.

Your Voice Matters: Vote in the 2026 Council Referendum
by PT admin 27 Jan '26

27 Jan '26

Sent on behalf of Grace Francis Hello MPT students From February 12th to 13th, you're invited to take part in a pivotal decision that will directly impact the future of students in the Masters of Physical Therapy Program. The 2026 Council Referendum is your opportunity to vote on the future of the Student Initiative Funds (SIF)-funds that help enrich the academic experiences of students within the Masters of Physical Therapy Program. What is the SIF? These funds are designed to empower students through initiatives that support academic excellence and student-driven projects. They're supported by student contributions on a per-credit hour/term basis, and your vote will determine how these funds are allocated. Past Terms (2023) * $125 per term (approx. $500 across the 2 years of the program) * 80% to the SIF * 20% to the Endowment Fund * Term: 3 years Proposed Terms (2026) * $25 per term * 100% to the Endowment Fund * Term: 3 years The SIF in particular has appeared to have been underutilized over the course of several year and has thus accumulated. It is the general consensus of the council to pause paying into the SIF while we aim to use what exists in the fund in a meaningful way. The council proposes a continued contribution to the Endowment fund at a decrease cost to students. Why does your vote matter? This referendum isn't just about numbers-it's about creating a lasting impact on the students and programs that will shape our future. With your vote, you help fund transformative opportunities for your fellow students and pave the way for future leaders in the MPT field. Voting opens on Feb 12th at 12:01 am CST and will close on Feb 13th at 11:59 pm CST. Cast your vote via Simply Voting to make sure your voice is heard. Have questions or want to learn more? We're here to help! Feel free to reach out via email to francisg(a)myumanitoba.ca<mailto:francisg@myumanitoba.ca> Let's make a difference together-your vote matters! Grace Francis, Physical Therapy - Student President
