Hello,
I hope this message finds you well.
My name is Pam, and I am writing on behalf of the Institute for Leadership Development at Asper to share a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for post-secondary students in Manitoba called the President’s Student Leadership Program (PSLP).
In a nutshell, the program provides a unique-in-Canada immersive learning opportunity that brings together a cohort of students each year from across faculties, post-secondary institutions, interests, backgrounds, and regions of the province to build their leadership potential.
Applications for Cohort 8 open on January 19, 2026, and close on March 6th.
We would appreciate your assistance with sharing the blurb below (and the attached poster) with your mailing list regarding the upcoming Info Session scheduled for Wednesday, January 21st.
Thanks so much for your help!
Best,
Pam Daniels
