CHANCELLOR’S MESSAGE

Mamhtákosiwin, gigii-minojigem, yawashte, kischi-iteyhta-mashchohin, nezu annellassi, félicitations!

As Chancellor of the University of Manitoba, it is my great pleasure to congratulate the remarkable Class of 2023. You now join our alumni community– a community who shares the best of the University of Manitoba spirit wherever they go.

You are graduating! As you reflect on what it took you to get to this moment, be filled with awe. You faced so much during your studies at a particularly challenging time in history. You have persevered and no doubt been stretched and grown.

You have reached deep within yourselves to get to this day. You have also likely reached out to others, both to lend support and to receive it. Take some time to thank those special people who have supported you. And never forget how important it is to help and be helped.

As you move forward, look for ways to contribute, and create positive change. Serving others adds tremendous meaning to our lives and can even transform them. You have cultivated talents the world needs. Please share these generously.

Be proud yourselves. You are extraordinary students, forged during extraordinary times. Never forget this.

Anne Mahon, BHEcol(Man.) Chancellor
