Kick off the new Term with Student Success Month
October 1 -31, 2025
October is Student Success Month at UM, offering students a wide range of supports, events, workshops, and resources to help you start the academic year with confidence. Whether you’re new to UM or returning for another term, this is your opportunity to explore the many services designed to support your academic, personal, and professional growth.
Luke, a fourth-year student in Computer Science, is eager to explore the University’s wellness resources this Student Success Month.
“I’ve become more interested in the wellness part of things recently,” he says. “This upcoming year I’m more interested in looking into mental health supports than I was previously. I think this last year I’ve learned that mental health supports are useful and important. I’m interested in learning what we’ve got here at the UM.”
Student Success Month is more than just academic support. It’s also geared toward building connections and a sense of belonging. Paulyn De Leon, a first-year student in the College of Pharmacy, reflects on the sense of excitement and community that the Fall term brings. “During the start of a new Fall term, I like the vibes of the campus. It just feels like a community,” says Paulyn. “When I come in for the Fall, I enjoy seeing all the people. I feel like it motivates me, and I look forward to that.”
Throughout October, students can participate in a variety of workshops and events focused on:
- Academic writing and study skills workshops
- Research support and library services
- Career development sessions
- Mental health and wellness resources
Events are hosted across both Fort Garry and Bannatyne campuses, online and in-person. From study tips to self-care, take a look at the events calendar and find what fits your goals this Student Success Month!
