Hello Students,

 

An off-campus incident occurred with students on a Winnipeg transit bus en route to clinical this morning.  Leadership was notified and present with students after the incident, police were notified and a report was made.  

We will continue to support students to ensure their well-being. 

As you travel to and from clinical please be vigilant with your surroundings and continue to report incidences to UM leadership and clinical teams.
