Your professors will get
to know you by name —
that’s the beauty of a
small campus community
No one wants to be considered just
a number. Thanks to our small class
sizes, caring professors, and compact
campus layout — you won’t be. At
UWinnipeg, it’s all about the magic
that comes from people connecting
with other people. Our community
includes students from around the
world, brilliant researchers pursuing
amazing discoveries, and passionate
learners who walk, cycle, and ride
downtown each day. This diversity
fosters idea-sharing and promotes
understanding. It also creates a
unique environment in which to
make new and lasting friendships.

AN IMPACT
It might happen in a lab or it could
be sparked by a classroom discussion
about social justice. It may stem from
the desire to cure a disease or help
people live healthier lives. Whatever
inspires you, get ready to make your
mark on the world.

Research on campus takes many forms.
We have scientists working on important
medical advances — like tests that will
detect cancer sooner. Others are looking
into ways of improving our daily lives
— like studies to guide city sidewalk
snow clearing in winter. UWinnipeg
researchers are breaking new ground,
and our students are helping them
lead the way, via hands-on research
opportunities. Whether your passion
takes you to the lab or the forefront of
a social movement — get ready to
make your impact.

PERSPECTIVE
Located on Treaty One land in
the heart of the Métis Nation,
UWinnipeg is committed to
advancing reconciliation through
education. It’s an important step
to help build understanding and
promote healing.
Viewbook 2018–2019
UWinnipeg is one of the first universities
in Canada to ensure all students have
foundational knowledge of Indigenous
people and culture. And we’re proud to
say the idea came from our students.
We’ve created a growing list of courses
that will help students appreciate
the contributions Indigenous people
have made to our world. This, in turn,
prepares them to engage in a society
where reconciliation with Indigenous
peoples is an important reality. By
understanding Canada’s past and
present, we can generate ideas that
may lead to a better future.

BEING GREEN
Real action is necessary to preserve
our planet, so we choose to lead by
example. We want to inspire others
to do their part when it comes to
sustainability, for the sake of future
generations. We also want to show the
world that doing the right thing doesn’t
have to be a difficult choice.
THE UNIVERSITY OF WINNIPEG
DIVERSITY FOODS
Our acclaimed homegrown foodservice
provider is renowned for fresh and
healthy meals that embrace local and
seasonal ingredients, cultural menus,
and from-scratch cooking. When you
visit Elements, Café Bodhi, Pangea’s
Kitchen, or The Malecon, you’ll find
biodegradable and compostable
containers, fair-trade organic coffee, and
many products from local food suppliers.
PLASTIC WATER BOTTLE BAN
We are proud to be the first Canadian
university campus to ban the sale
of bottled water — another forward-
thinking student-led initiative. By
bringing your own reusable water
bottle and using the fill-up stations
around campus, you’re helping to divert
unnecessary waste and supporting the
integrity of the public water system.
50%
Our goal is to reduce
GHG emissions by 50%
below 1990 levels — with
the ultimate plan to be
carbon neutral
CAMPUS RECYCLING
Wherever you go on campus, make a
greener choice. Use our multi-stream
receptacles for waste, compost, and
recycling as well as our new compost
receptacles to dispose of food scraps
and other compostable items. You can
help us reach our goal of 65% waste
diversion on campus!
ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION
When you walk or bike to campus,
you’re not only helping the environment
— you’re making a choice that benefits
your body and mind. Exercise has been
proven to improve your energy, mood,
and resistance to disease. And the
campus bike lab — free to students —
will keep your ride running smoothly
all year.
If you need to drive
once in a while, join the
Peg City Car Co-op. They
have vehicles around the
city and even a couple

SUSTAINABLE FOOTPRINT
Our campus has grown, but our
environmental impact hasn’t. That’s
because we build with sustainability in
mind. New facilities — like the Axworthy
Health and RecPlex and Downtown
Commons — strive for LEED-Silver
certification or better. Using low-flow
bathroom fixtures, energy dashboards,
and eco-friendly cleaning products are
just some of the ways we stay green.
RAPID TRANSIT
Enjoy a stress-free ride to school via
one of the 56 bus routes around the
vicinity of campus (21 that come
directly to it). Full-time students can
further enhance the value of their
U-Pass by riding the bus everywhere
they go — a convenient and carbon-
friendly alternative to driving alone.

POTENTIAL

challenges to build on your strengths.
Open your heart and mind. Try new
things. Give and accept support when
needed. Above all — make the most of
every opportunity that comes your way.

A healthy mind (and body) is critical
to student success. We understand
that, so we offer access to personalized
counseling, confidential sexual health
supports, and more. Thrive Week is full

STUDENTS’ ASSOCIATION
The University of Winnipeg Students’
Association (UWSA) promotes student
interests, organizes events, and delivers
student services like the health plan,
campus daycare, and info booth. They
offer many opportunities to get involved
on campus — as do the campus radio
station (CKUW), student newspaper,
and the 55 other student groups you
can join.
REFRESHING SPACES
Enjoy the serenity of our vast library
— which offers a multitude of resources
and awe-inspiring special collections
— or take a relaxing break on the
front lawn of Wesley Hall. Refuel at
Starbucks, Stella’s, Garbonzo’s, or
the new incarnation of Tony’s Canteen
before you snag some study time in a
comfortable student lounge or outdoor
green space.

WESMEN ATHLETICS
Even if you’re not a student-athlete,
our outstanding athletics program
has something for you. Cheer on
our Wesmen sports teams as they
compete in basketball, volleyball,
and soccer. Your valid student ID is
your free pass to all regular season
Wesmen action, and to access the
Bill Wedlake Fitness Centre.
ACTIVE LIVING

or weights, we’ve got a host of options at
the Axworthy Health and RecPlex and
Duckworth Centre that will help keep
you fit and limber. Get the most out of
your free gym membership, take part in
intramurals, or try out one of our Zumba
or circuit training classes.

assist you in finding research materials,
archives, interlibrary loans — whatever
you need to succeed with your studies.

society in a meaningful way.

Arts graduates find careers in a wide range of fields, including: politics, education,
public service, journalism, community development, government, law enforcement,
international development, social services, entertainment, advocacy, fundraising,
administration, and many more.
