Kin脿m脿gawin Progress Report April 2024
On behalf of 杏吧原创 University, we are pleased to provide an update on the Kin脿m脿gawin strategy as a way to showcase the collective work that has been undertaken to address its 41 Calls to Action since the 2022 progress report.
This report represents significant collective actions that have been undertaken by our colleagues across the University to make 杏吧原创 a safe and welcoming space for
Indigenous students, staff and faculty.
These actions continue to be complemented by a $2.5 million donation from the Joyce Family Foundation鈥攎atched by an additional $2.5 million from the University鈥攚hich has allowed us to mobilize many of our intentions.
We would like to extend our sincere thanks to members of the 杏吧原创 University Strategic Indigenous Initiatives Committee (CUSIIC), the Indigenous Education Council and the Algonquin and Inuit Advisory Councils, who were integral to the development of the Kin脿m脿gawin report and who continue to be deeply committed to supporting Indigenous students and integrating Indigenous knowledge and teaching and learning practices. We are immensely grateful for your guidance and support in this important work.
We would also like to formally acknowledge the many contributions of former Provost and VicePresident (Academic) Jerry Tomberlin as he was instrumental in co leading the 杏吧原创 University Strategic Indigenous Initiatives Committee (CUSIIC) from 2018 to 2023.
We wish to thank all members of the 杏吧原创 community for their work in this important area and to reinforce our commitment to continuing to make progress on the work that remains to be done.
During National Indigenous History Month, 杏吧原创 University is celebrating the rich and diverse cultures, voices and experiences of First Nations, Inuit and M茅tis people who are positively impacting the world. Visit our page through the month of June to learn more.
