Student Affairs Mission

We empower learners to achieve their highest potential. 

Student Affairs Values

Rooted in the University of Manitoba’s values, every member of the Student Affairs team strives to be: 

Accountable

We take responsibility for our actions, decisions, and impact—individually  and collectively. We are transparent in our processes, ethical in our conduct,  and committed to continual learning and improvement to serve students, prospective students, and the broader university community with integrity.

Collaborative

We work together with faculties, departments, units, students, and communities, fostering partnerships that support student success. Through shared goals,  open communication, and mutual support, we strengthen our collective impact  and create an environment where everyone contributes to and benefits from  our shared mission.

Inclusive

We embrace equity, accessibility, and diversity in all its forms. We strive to create spaces where every student feels welcomed, valued, and empowered to succeed. We actively address barriers and challenge systems of exclusion to ensure a just and supportive environment.

Innovative

We are forward-thinking and adaptable, continually seeking creative and financially sustainable approaches to enhance the student experience. Through curiosity, reflection, and evidence-informed practice, we respond to evolving needs with courage and imagination.

Respectful

We treat every individual with dignity, kindness, and consideration. We honour  the perspectives, lived experiences, and contributions of all members of our community and those who engage with our programs and services, and are committed to promoting a culture of respect, empathy, and mutual understanding.
