"Taking care of yourself is not falling behind, it's showing up for yourself in a more grounding and caring way" this year's alumni keynote, D'Arcy Kirkwood (MBS, 2020 & BSc Honours, 2019).

At the end of March, the Indigenous Student Centre hosted the 16th annual Celebration of Indigenous Achievement. It was a time to come together with students, Elders, Knowledge Holders, staff, families, and community members to honour the accomplishments of First Nations, Inuit, and Métis students and celebrate the end of the academic year. 

Shared by Elder Mary Lou Smoke, "Education is a source of survival. Your degree will take you many places and you can take your people with you."

Miigwetch, Nia:wen, Marsi, Nakurmiik to everyone who helped make this evening one to remember.
