Indigenous Requirement Lobbying
February 11th, 2015
The University of Winnipeg Students’ Association, in partnership with the University of Winnipeg Aboriginal Students Council, have developed a new fully integrated requirement for all undergraduates at the University of Winnipeg. If approved, this requirement would apply to all students who begin their studies in the fall 2016.
Our intention is to broaden our common curriculum, and ensure that all UW students have the opportunity to learn about Indigenous history, culture, and lived experience.
If you have thoughts to share, contact UWSA President Rorie Mcleod Arnould at pres@theuwsa or (204) 786-9778.
