Student Affairs
Welcome to Student Affairs at the University of Manitoba.
Our team of staff, faculty and students plays a vital role in advancing UM’s learning mission. Core to our student-centered practice is a commitment to meet learners where they are, to support students in experiencing a sense of well-being, agency and belonging, and to offer an environment where all students are encouraged to be true to themselves, to dream big, and to achieve their highest potential.

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.
