Bold storytelling for the future of UM

Welcome to UM Today! We’re excited to introduce our innovative, newly created storytelling site, showcasing UM’s research, teaching and community impact.

UM Today serves as the university’s central hub for sharing stories with external audiences, including prospective students, alumni, partners, media and the broader community.

The custom-built platform features a bold, beautiful design to enhance UM storytelling. Faculties and units from across UM worked collaboratively to launch this large project.

We invite you to engage with the new site and learn more about the amazing people, research and teaching excellence at UM.

Find stories that matter to you

With unique story formats and multi-media capabilities, the new UM Today platform offers an enriched experience for site visitors.

Stories range from in-depth features to shorter reads and photo-led stories, with enticing and distinct subheadings that give you a snapshot of what to expect. Reading-time indicators  help you decide how and when to engage.

Built around clear navigation and flexible storytelling formats, the new UM Today is designed to help you quickly find stories that matter to you. The menu is organized into intuitive categories, including Research, Teaching and Learning, Indigenous, Students and Community — with related stories from across faculties and departments giving you easy access to extensive, curated content.

Something for everyone: Follow your interests, discover new stories

Content can also be discovered through interest-based topics and UM priorities such as health and wellness, science and technology, business, sustainability, human rights and more.

Whether you’re interested in the latest health advances, crop research, AI and technology developments, or inspiring student experiences, stories are now easier to find and follow. Readers can see how subjects intersect and inform one another. The platform will continue to evolve as new stories are published and shared.
