Shad at the University of Manitoba is excited to provide you with opportunities for learning from our world-class professors, engaging in workshops with local researchers, and experiencing the unique culture and charm of Manitoba. This summer will be transformational as we provide you with intellectually and creatively challenging activities, where you’ll innovate, explore, and discover, all while in a warm and nurturing community. We can’t wait.

The University of Manitoba campuses are located on original lands of the Anishinaabeg, Cree, Ojibwe-Cree, Dakota, and Dene peoples, and on the homeland of the Red River Métis. We respect the Treaties that were made on these territories, we acknowledge the harms and mistakes of the past, and we dedicate ourselves to move forward in partnership with Indigenous communities in a spirit of Reconciliation and collaboration.
