After two years of virtual Science Rendezvous, the Canadian-wide STEAM festival, which is co-hosted by The University of Winnipeg and University of Manitoba, is back in person.
As 2022 comes to a close, we have an opportunity to look back and celebrate the many good news stories and accomplishments The University of Winnipeg community shared this year.

Dr. Yannick Molgat-Seon, an exercise physiologist with a particular interest in respiratory physiology, has been appointed as UWinnipeg's 2022 Chancellor’s Research Chair.
As part of Science Rendezvous' Science Chase trivia challenge, University of Winnipeg students and faculty members have created fun videos to pair with the questions. The nationwide virtual trivia challenge takes place May 4-7.
First-year UWinnipeg student Gracie Grift, a Pathway to Graduate Studies scholar, worked with Dr. Yannick Molgat-Seon to determine which factors predispose healthy individuals to airflow limitation and whether these factors differ based on sex.
UWinnipeg’s Pathway to Graduate Studies (P2GS) program returned this summer offering ten Indigenous students research opportunities in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM).
Thanks to the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council ()’s five University of Winnipeg professors are working with community partners to understand and address COVID-19-related issues.
Wearing facemasks while exercising, although uncomfortable, is the new normal in helping to stop the spread of COVID-19. Dr. Yannick Molgat-Seon and colleagues from across North America determine if face masks affect breathing during exercise.
UWinnipeg received research funding from the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada that will enable over $917,000 in research projects.
