Charge Ahead is up and running again for the Winter 2024 term. There are 24 appointment slots available each week, so students are likely to find an appointment time that works for them. We have three undergraduate mentors and one graduate mentor available. The mentors are also running a workshop series on Tuesdays (1:00-2:15) from January 23 - February 14. Our website<https://umanitoba.ca/student-supports/academic-supports/charge-ahead> includes a link to our booking calendar as well as workshop registration information. Please pass this information along to any students you think would benefit! We have found the most common reason for students attending is staff referrals, so it very much makes a difference.

Agriculture In The Classroom
by Jared Bento 03 Jan '24

03 Jan '24

Hi Plant Grads, Consider volunteering with Agriculture In The Classroom this March - even meeting one classroom helps! AITC is currently short on volunteers - there are 184 classrooms registered this March and only 60 volunteers to accommodate (volunteers can make as many presentations as they'd like). There are also 33 French presentation requests and only 10 accounted for. See the attachments for more information. AITC is a fulfilling and refreshing experience, as well as a great addition to any CV! Thank you, and happy new year, Jared Bento, AITC Volunteer B.Sc.
