Trending: For the week of July 25 – 31

Welcome to ‘Trending’, where each week we share a few things to watch for on social media.

From wicked storms to wicked heat, there’s no denying that our seasonal weather has been all over the place. But come rain or sun, we Manitobans love our summers. So even if you’re stuck in the office or the library, don’t forget to get outside to refresh, stretch your legs and take it in.

Here’s what’s we’re talking about on social media this week:

• It’s official. The Pokémon craze has hit the UofM campus and this great shot tells the tale! We love seeing what you’re finding out there…but don’t forget these friendly reminders when it comes to hunting on campus.
• Dairy fun is on the docket over at the Bruce D. Campbell Farm and Food Discovery Centre this week (hello ice cream!). Get info on their family-friendly events and workshops and follow them on Twitter.
• Your new student checklist is extensive: activate email, plan course registration, learn HOW to register…check out #firstyearplanning on Twitter and Instagram for our best tips and links to handy resources.
• Put stunning weather together with long day, cool lakes and fun festivals and you’ve got summer in Manitoba! Stay current on all that’s happening at #exploreMB.

As always, join us and the rest of our community talking about the U of M by following #umanitoba on Twitter and Instagram.
