The Colleges of the University of Manitoba: A look into the past

January 3, 2025 — 
New and old students of UM may be curious about our campus’ history. What’s the deal with the various colleges? What exactly is UM’s relationship with Université de Saint-Boniface? For those that have had their curiosity piqued by going into the libraries and seeing the portraits of previous chancellors, or when seeing the dates inscribed into some of the buildings on the Fort Garry campus without any context, here are some tidbits about the University’s early history.

Social work students explore role in healthcare through interprofessional learning

December 9, 2024 — 
This fall, a cohort of social work students participated in an interprofessional learning experience with the Rady Faculty of Health Sciences. This event emphasized the importance of social work practice in addressing the intersection of individuals and their environments in healthcare settings.  During the event, a screening of Falling Through the Cracks: Greg’s Story, depicted the tragic death of Greg Price and highlighted systemic issues in healthcare, including the need for improved communication.  “‘Greg’s Wings’ provided a meaningful learning experience for students, particularly in the context of healthcare collaboration and the challenges faced within this system,” said Vicki Verge, Instructor and Faculty-Field Liaison, Faculty of Social Work.
