We're extremely sad to share the news of the passing of Dr. David Barber. He was one of Canada’s most influential and accomplished Arctic researchers and will be dearly missed.
Our hearts go out to his family and friends.
The University of Manitoba is deeply saddened by the tragic news coming out of Tehran. It is our understanding that there were UM students and an alumna on board the flight.
Our hearts go out to the family and friends of Dr. Frank Plummer with the sad news of his death. The world lost a renowned scientist, academic and groundbreaking HIV/AIDS researcher. He was 67. 💔
Our visual identity, like the other components of our collective story, occasionally requires refreshing. Over time, we evolve, we grow, we change. And so does our story and the means of telling that story.
