THE UNIVERSITY OF WINNIPEG WORK STUDY PROGRAM
2008/2009 Student Application Information Sheet

The University of Winnipeg Work Study Program is designed to provide supplementary financial assistance through part-time campus employment to students who are recipients of aid through the Manitoba Student Financial Assistance Program (Canada Student Loan & Manitoba Student Loan) or through another province’s “student aid” program. You can use this employment income to supplement your student loan and to reduce your debt load, as follows: You may obtain $50.00 per week ($50.00 X 33 weeks = $1650.00) in part-time earnings, without your Canada Student Loan assistance being affected. Eighty percent (80%) of any income you obtain above $1650.00 will be deducted from your loan assistance in order to reduce your debt. (If you have borrowed from a student line-of-credit program directly through a bank, you also may apply for the Work Study Program).

Eligibility - To be eligible for the Work Study Program, you must:

- be registered in a degree program at the University of Winnipeg in the 2008/09 academic year on a full-time basis as defined by the Manitoba Student Assistance Program (18 credit hour minimum)
- have completed successfully 30 credit hours
- be on Regular Status at the University of Winnipeg
- receive a government student loan of at least $1000 for 2008/09 as a result of the financial need assessment done by the Manitoba Student Financial Assistance Program or another province’s “student aid” office OR obtain a student line-of-credit or student bank loan for 2008/09 of at least $1000

Work Study Projects

Descriptions of the Work-Study positions available are attached. Take careful note of the qualifications required for each position. You may apply for a maximum of four Work Study positions and may not be hired for more than one position.

Procedures

1. Complete and return the 2008/09 Work Study Program Application to the Awards Office by October 20, 2008. Attach a photocopy of the Notice of Assistance sent to you by the Manitoba Student Financial Assistance Program OR of your bank student line-of-credit or loan agreement

2. The Awards Office will review your application and will send you a Work Study Program Authorization if you are eligible for the Program.

3. Your application, together with those of other applicants, will then be sent to Work Study project supervisors by the Awards Office.

I. The project supervisor will review the applications and decided whom to interview. If you are called by a project supervisor for an interview, you should take the Work Study Program Authorization to the interview. (Please remember that there will be many more applicants than positions and that not all applicants will be interviewed. Should there be more than 10 applications for a position, only the 10 applicants with the highest levels of financial need – as assessed by the Manitoba Student Financial Assistance Program -- will be forwarded to the project supervisor).

II. If you are hired for a position, you must inform the Manitoba Student Financial Assistance Program of the amount you will be earning.

Once again, the deadline for submitting the 2008/09 Work Study Program Application to the Awards Office is October 20, 2008.

Gallery 1C03 is looking for a few great art lovers! ... Are you one of them?

Gallery 1C03 at the University of Winnipeg is excited about what it does, and wants to spread the campus gallery joy ;-)

• Are you a student at the University of Winnipeg or U of W’s Collegiate?
• Are you interested in visual and media art?
• Are you interested in gaining valuable experience that will shine bright on a resume?
• Or, maybe you’re serious about pursuing a career in the arts and know that demonstrated experience in the field will give you a much needed advantage...
  

If you answered yes to any of the above questions, then continue reading below to find out more about a full spectrum of interesting opportunities available for the taking!

To volunteer with Gallery 1C03, contact Art Curator, Milena Placentile, by calling 204.786.9253 or by sending an email to m[dot]placentile[at]uwinnipeg[dot]ca.

Be sure to share some info about yourself including what you love about art, and what sorts of activities you’d like to help with. And, while you’re at it, feel free to mention any specific skills you may have. Erm, other than standing on your head while reciting the alphabet backwards… although one never knows when that might come in handy at an opening ;-) Ha ha!

We’re looking for people interested in joining one or more of the following teams:

* The Gallery 1C03 Street Team offers awesome experience for people interested in marketing and PR. Plus, it’s a great excuse to spend even more time on Facebook. As if you needed a reason ;-) This team will distribute posters and fliers around the campus and elsewhere in Winnipeg, as well as come up with ways to get people excited about the Gallery’s exhibitions and programs.

* The Gallery 1C03 Online Commentators provides members with a chance to refine their writing skills and gain experience publishing critical writing online. Blog about our shows, write about related exhibitions, and report on artist talks, panel discussions, educational programming and tours.

* The Gallery 1C03 Paparazzi will have a chance to hone their skills documenting exhibition openings, artist talks and other events. In some cases, the paparazzi will be able to complement their skills capturing live energy to by producing skillful installation photos for archival purposes. Photos will be posted to gallery1c03.blogspot.com and our Facebook account for all to adore!

* The Gallery 1C03 Elbow Grease and Muscle Team is perfect for people who’d like to surround themselves with art and get a little exercise at the same time. Okay, so stuffing envelopes isn’t exactly exercise,* but moving stuff around such as bricks and rocks, and sometimes art, can definitely work up a sweat. Keep in mind; this would be a “careful movements while handling the art” kind of sweat ;-)

So now you’re asking…

What was that about bricks and rocks?

Yes indeed, our next exhibition will include unloading a truck of raw material for two sculptural installations. Unloading will take place on September 22 and re-loading will take place on October 23. If you’d like to join the “rock party”, give the Art Curator a shout!

Gallery 1C03 welcomes volunteers to come on board at any time, but why wait? The sooner you get started, the more fun you’ll have and the more experience you’ll gain.

Call now!

;-)


*Collegiate students might even be able to count this type of work toward physical education credits…
