Trending: For the week of September 5 – 11
September 5, 2016 —
Welcome to ‘Trending’, where each week we share a few things to watch for on social media.
Summer is waving that last good-bye and this week marks the big return for fall! New students will be all over campus trying to find their way around (be nice and lend a hand!) and classes start on Thursday. Welcome back everyone!
Here’s what we’re talking about on social media this week:
- Our favourite #umanitoba Instagram photo of the week is a real treasure, unearthed by Richard. He was a first-year student in 1988 when the Tragically Hip played one of their tiniest venues. Thanks for sharing Richard and keep tagging your pics #umanitoba for a chance to be featured.
- Orientation continues this week at our Fort Garry campus for new students and grad students! Be sure to share your #umorientation photos on Twitter and Instagram!
- Bison football season has started, Bison women’s soccer has kicked off and there’s more to come! Follow all the action at #GoBisons!
- Academic Integrity is really important. Learn more at #umintegrity.
