Supports and Resources for Faculty

Onboarding for New Faculty

Academic Integrity

Academic integrity at UWinnipeg is the responsibility of the Provost and Vice-President, Academic. It is constituted by the five fundamental values of honesty, trust, fairness, responsibility, and courage, as well as the Indigenous values of relationality, reciprocity, and respect.

For information about how to proceed when a student appears to have committed academic misconduct, see the Instructor’s Guide to Academic Misconduct by Students [PDF].

Academic Planning and Curriculum Forms

Forms for proposing new courses, revising courses, and deleting courses can be found in Curriculum Forms.

Mentorship Networks

There are currently two mentorship networks that faculty can join: the BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, People of Colour) Mentorship Network and the 2SLGBTQ+ Mentorship Network.

BIPOC Mentorship Network

This network aims to foster respectful connections across campus, facilitate a peer network of resources, and support the professional and personal development needs unique to BIPOC faculty. Last year’s activities included peer mentorship sessions on dealing with racism in the classroom, negotiating additional emotional labour and cultural taxation, and decolonizing research funding, as well as a Career Development Day and several informal gatherings. To read more about the network see UWinnipeg BIPOC Mentorship Network builds community.

Contact Larissa Wodtke, the Director of Academic Programming and EDI, to join.

2SLGBTQ+ Mentorship Network

This network provides peer mentorship opportunities, resources, and support for faculty who identify as 2SLGBTQ+. Planned activities for this year include informal gatherings, lightning talks on research, and sessions on how to navigate UWinnipeg as 2SLGBTQ+ faculty and how to mentor 2SLGBTQ+ students effectively.

Contact Larissa Wodtke, the Director of Academic Programming and EDI, to join.
