Good afternoon,

Please see the attached memo sent on behalf of Dr. Michael Benarroch, President and Vice-Chancellor. Please circulate widely as appropriate.

Please consider nominating one individual from your area who has been notably active in community engagement activities during 2025 and has gone above and beyond what they do as an employee of the University.

To determine your nominee, please consider all suggested individuals from your unit in consultation with a suitable number of your colleagues. While there are no restrictions with respect to nominating a previous recipient again, the case for doing so should be based on community engagement activities undertaken since the previous award. Heads of larger units may wish to nominate more than one person, although this should normally be done only for exceptional reasons. It is not anticipated that every unit will nominate each year.

For further information and the application form, please visit. https://umanitoba.sharepoint.com/sites/um-intranet-provost-vice-president-ac...

Nominations from Deans, Directors, and Vice-Presidents are due on Monday, May 4, 2026 at 4:00 pm to the Chair of the Presidential Advisory Committee on Community Engagement, Dr. Tracey Peter, Vice-Provost (Academic Affairs) via email care of jill.bonner@umanitoba.camailto:jill.bonner@umanitoba.ca

Regards, Jill
