CMA MANITOBA SUPPORTS
The Society of Management Accountants of Manitoba (CMA Manitoba) is stepping up to help University of Winnipeg students pursue post-secondary education in business. With a commitment of $250,000 CMA Manitoba will support the capital costs of constructing the Faculty’s space in the 460 Portage Project and provide financial support to students in the form of annual scholarships.
“We value the tremendous support of generous supporters like the Society of Management Accountants of Manitoba,” said UWinnipeg President and Vice-Chancellor Dr. Lloyd Axworthy. “Their commitment means our business students can study in a first-class space with supports that can help them succeed as they pursue their careers.”
“We are proud of our on-going partnership with the University of Winnipeg,” said Chris Dumontier, CMA, President of CMA Manitoba. “This project is a perfect demonstration of finding a creative solution that will not only serve the future needs of Business and Economics students, but all University students interested in a designation that will enhance their ability to become strategic community leaders.”
“CMA Manitoba has shown tremendous leadership and foresight by investing in a program that is getting off the ground,” said Michael Benarroch, Dean of the Faculty of Business & Economics at The University of Winnipeg. “It is great to see a successful organization contributing significantly to the success of our students and our program.”
The newly created Faculty of Business and Economics offers students a diverse array of academic programs, including accounting, human resources management, marketing, international business and finance. The completion of the University of Winnipeg’s 460 Portage Project will provide the Faculty of Business and Economics a new home at one of the highest profile corners in Winnipeg – Portage Avenue and Memorial Boulevard.
