I’d like to say Gong Xi Fa Cai to our Chinese students, and to our colleagues in China as they celebrate the coming of the Year of the Rabbit. I hope the year brings all of you an abundance of joy, good health, luck and prosperity.
The University of Manitoba community has strong ties with China. Our 970 Chinese students form the largest international student group at the U of M. Over 100 of our professors have direct research connections to China and our faculties ranging from Nursing to Engineering have research partnerships and student exchange programs with Chinese universities. Indeed, the University currently has 61 active agreements with 36 Chinese universities. In this Year of the Rabbit, the University of Manitoba anticipates members of its community to contribute great things to global society when we work with our friends in China and beyond. Happy New Year.
Sincerely,
David
