                              Come explore everything the University of Manitoba has to offer.
                              Here, it’s about options, community and defining your future. This is
                              your time to be adventurous, challenge yourself and make a difference.
                              The University of Manitoba campuses are located on the original lands of Anishinaabeg, Cree,
                              Oji-Cree, Dakota, and Dene peoples, and on the homeland of the Métis Nation. We respect the
                              Treaties that were made on these territories, we acknowledge the harms and mistakes of the
                              past, and we dedicate ourselves to move forward in partnership with Indigenous communities
                              in a spirit of reconciliation and collaboration.
                              We are committed to Indigenous achievement and reconciliation, and to equity of access and
                              opportunity for all UM students, faculty and staff. We welcome you to a diverse and inclusive
                              learning environment where everyone—from all backgrounds and perspectives—is respected,
                              valued and can enjoy an exceptional educational experience.
