VICKI MANUEL, Coordinator for Aboriginal Students
Aboriginal Cultural Centre
Opened in the Fall of 2003, "The Gathering Place" is a resource, information and support centre not only for UCC students but also for the entire campus community. This non-political center encompasses the cultural values of the Canadian Aboriginal, First Nations (status and non-status), Inuit, and Metis peoples by recognizing the diverse Aboriginal population who study at the UCC.
Aboriginal Student Services
A Coordinator for Aboriginal Students provides support services designed to enhance Aboriginal students' post-secondary experience at UCC culturally, socially and academically. The Coordinator provides general information on admissions and educational program options and liaises with UCC personnel, Aboriginal bands, Aboriginal high school coordinators, as well as other related local and regional agencies.
First Nations Student Association
The First Nations Student Association, administered by an annually elected Executive, provides an opportunity for Aboriginal students to meet, study and be involved in activities such as sports, cultural and traditional events. The FNSA office and lounge is located in the Independent Centre of the Campus Activity Centre.
