MAHN rural travel subsidy
by Jessica Rutherford 08 Jul '24

08 Jul '24

Dear MAHN Students, Dr. Myrie and I have been successful in applying for and securing endowment funds to support some of the costs of mileage for your rural travel. If you drove to a rural placement (defined as a rural designated placement outside of the Winnipeg perimeter) and you have not been fully reimbursed for mileage through other means you are eligible to submit a claim for reimbursement. All students that have mileage expenses that have not been reimbursed through other means will receive a subsidy from the endowment fund up to a maximum of $400. We recognize that this may not cover all mileage or other expenses during rural placement. If you have remaining travel expenses after this reimbursement you may consider applying for a Stewart Pugh travel award<https://ui-webapps.ad.umanitoba.ca/searchableAwards/searchForm/awardDetails…>. You are eligible for this award even if the travel is already completed. Eligibility and directions for the MAHN travel subsidy: 1. The claim is specifically for travel to a placement outside of the Winnipeg perimeter for a rural designated placement (contact MAHN.info(a)umanitoba.ca<mailto:MAHN.info@umanitoba.ca> if you are not certain whether your placement was a rural designated placement). 2. You must not have received reimbursement from other sources for the mileage claimed. 3. Travel can only be claimed once. If two students traveled together and shared costs you must not claim the same/duplicate mileage, but you can split the mileage between two claims, one for each student. 4. Students shall receive a maximum of $400 in total (not per rural placement). 5. To be considered for this subsidy, you must fill out the attached form and submit it to MAHN.info(a)umanitoba.ca<mailto:MAHN.info@umanitoba.ca> by end of day Tuesday July 16. We will not be issuing reminders, and we will not accept claims submitted to any other e-mail address. 6. Mileage rate is $0.50 per kilometer. Mileage is calculated from your home address to the placement location. 7. Your submitted form must include mileage expenses only. Please review the information below to help you fill out the form: Section A: * Check student box. * Include your UManitoba e-mail address. Section B: * If you completed multiple drives to and from the same location list the date of the first drive and last drive under dates. * Under the purpose of claim: Indicate MAHN Rural Placement. If you had multiple drives in this section also indicate that this claim is for X amount of drives back and forth from X location for X number of days in the placement. * Are these all the expenses: Check no (indicate this is only for mileage). * Type of trip: check fieldwork * Summary of expenses: List the dates travelled and the expense description (Mileage x mileage rate) If you have questions about filling out the form, please contact MAHN.info(a)umanitoba.ca<mailto:MAHN.info@umanitoba.ca>. Katrina and I will not respond to e-mail sent to our personal e-mail. We will submit the forms for reimbursement on July 17.

MAHN Instructor Update
by Jessica Rutherford 20 Jun '24

20 Jun '24

Hello All, I hope all is going well for you in your research placement. I wanted to let you know, before it is announced to the department, that I have applied and have been offered an interview for the position of MAHN Instructor. I will be delivering a teaching demonstration on June 27 at 10:00am and I will be meeting with FHNS Graduate Students on June 28th. As FHNS graduate students, you are encouraged to attend these sessions and because they are dietetic related your attendance will count toward practicum hours. I also, encourage you to attend the demonstration and meetings for the other applicants. At this point, I am only interviewing for the position, and it does not necessarily mean I will be the successful candidate or that I will be moving positions. I hope this announcement does not cause you any stress, I remain committed to my role as MAHN Coordinator, and it has been a pleasure serving you in the role over the past year.
