It’s here! UM Today The Magazine

Check out the online issue of our reimagined, reenergized alumni publication: UM Today The Magazine.

Read powerful, inspiring stories about our alumni, faculty and students in an exciting new way. Formerly On Manitoba, the new magazine is part of an integrated platform that goes deeper and puts compelling stories at your fingertips anytime, anywhere.

Printed and mailed twice a year (in spring and fall), the magazine delivers online content year-round, integrated with our popular UM Today News site.
