You can help accelerate UM’s contributions by supporting students and researchers working hands‑on with partners and residents across Manitoba. From hospitals to law clinics, in the Arctic or a canola field -- extending our expertise and knowledge to improve the well-being of our province, country and world.

The dental school is a needed block in the foundation of our province for dentistry, and giving back is the Manitoba way. New dentists are not going to come to Manitoba unless they’re trained here in Manitoba.

Great universities deserve great artistic venues. It seemed to me the logical thing to do would be to try and support the university in getting a concert hall that's worthy of its name.
