“Know that you deserve to be proud of what you have already done and celebrate that.”
-Taylor Tutkaluke
Have you left a positive mark on your community on or off campus? There may be a global pandemic going on, but we still want to recognize the outstanding contributions students like you have made! The University of Manitoba’s Emerging Leader Award recognizes students who are committed to the social, cultural or economic well-being of our community. While your efforts may have looked different this year, students who foster cross-cultural understanding, or demonstrate sustained leadership and initiative are encouraged to apply. Past recipients have been involved in a range of activities like being a peer mentor, creating and organizing events, and participating on student council.

When she read a study measuring the impact of COVID-19 on education, she wasn t surprised by the results. According to the UNESCO study, the novel coronavirus will affect more than 800 million students. There have been 79 countries that have been hit with full school closures or reduced schedules. There have also been social impacts, learning set backs, and many students have walked away from their studies. There is still a lot of uncertainty around what we are going to find as a result of COVID-19, said Burgess.
