Ukrainian Canadian Alumni at U of M Homecoming

A committee of representatives from Ukrainian Canadian departments at the University of Manitoba and its graduates are planning to celebrate a weekend of mutual exchanges and fellowship, April 30 to May 2, 2010. In conjunction with Manitoba Homecoming 2010, it is hoped that some 250-300 graduates of Ukrainian Canadian ancestry will participate in the 3-day affair. Highlights of the weekend include Pig Roast BBQ, panel discussions, sharing circles, honouring distinguished alumni, concert, worship service and luncheons.

The University of Manitoba has had students of Ukrainian ancestry from the early 1920s and has produced an outstanding crop of graduates in nearly all faculties and departments.

The departments involved in planning the alumni homecoming are the Centre for Ukrainian Canadian Studies, German and Slavic Studies, St. Andrew’s College in Winnipeg, International Office, Slavic Library, the Archive of the Ukrainian Canadian Experience and Alpha Omega Alumni Association.
