As we all reconnect and reconvene on campus after three years of remote and distance ed, the Mount launched a campaign to bring a sense of belonging to the campus. Read to learn about the Community Matters initiative and how you can participate and get involved.

You belong at MSVU!
In fact, connection and community really matter here.
The MSVU Community Matters program was launched this fall to help build connection and a sense of belonging among all MSVU students, faculty and staff – which is essential to overall wellness.
The program includes lots of ideas and opportunities to connect. Check out the updates below and visit the Community Matters program webpage for more.
Events
Waffles with the President – 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Tuesday, October 4, McCain Atrium – Students, faculty and staff stopped by for a waffle (with some excellent toppings!) and a chat with MSVU’s new President, Dr. Joël Dickinson, as well as other friends and faculty. Thanks to everyone who supported this event!
Captain’s Calendar – Interested in a game of soccer baseball? Maybe a competitive round of Connect 4 is more your speed? There’s something for everyone at MSVU and Captain’s Calendar is the place to find it all.
Face-to-name campaign
We’ve launched a “Face-to-Name campaign” to help everyone get to know our amazing faculty and staff. Visit the campaign’s flickr site for some faculty and staff introductions.
Name tags and postcards available
We have a limited supply of adhesive Community Matters name tags and MSVU postcards available (free of charge). If you’d like some for use as part of your MSVU initiative, please contact Lora.Arenburg@msvu.ca (Communications & Marketing).
