Writing Tutors are here to help with your assignments!

October 29, 2024 — 
The semester is quickly flying by. We are more than halfway through the first term, and for many that means it’s time to start submitting assignments and term papers. For new students, this may be a lot to process at once, and for returning students, who may be taking more advanced courses, there may be an adjustment period for the new workloads. It is the season for papers. Instead of stressing and rushing to meet deadlines alone, know that there are those who can support students in their writing skills at the University of Manitoba.

We all deserve positive relationships

September 16, 2024 — 
In healthy intimate relationships, partners can live their individual lives feeling emotionally and physically safe to be who they are. Unfortunately, we know this feeling of safety isn’t being experienced by everyone on campus. At UM’s Sexual Violence Resource Centre (SVRC), we regularly provide support to students, staff and faculty who are living in situations that do not feel safe to them. Learn more about what healthy and unhealthy relationships look like, intimate partner violence, and available support.
