Centre for Ukrainian Canadian Studies
The mission of the University of Manitoba is to create, preserve and communicate knowledge and, thereby, contribute to the cultural, social, and economic well-being of the people of Manitoba, Canada and the world.
The Centre for Ukrainian Canadian Studies, as a part of the University of Manitoba, operates, therefore, within this rubric. Specifically, the mission of the Centre is to create, preserve and communicate knowledge relating to Ukrainian Canadian culture and scholarship. While our focus must by definition maintain a Ukrainian flavour, nevertheless, the Canadian dimension must be paramount in our thinking. Likewise our audience begins with those of Ukrainian Canadian heritage, but then extends to those who are interested in things Ukrainian Canadian, and ultimately extends to all the people of "Manitoba, Canada and the world".
As of January 1, 2008 the current acting director is Dr. Roman Yereniuk. He may be contacted at 474-8907 or yereniuk@cc.umanitoba.ca.
The Assistant to the Director may be contacted at: (204) 474-8905 or ukrcanst@cc.umanitoba.ca.
The former acting director Denis Hlynka is available at 474-9062 or dhlynka@cc.umanitoba.ca.
