INDIGENOUS COMMUNITYThe U of M is home to a thriving community of over 2,000 First Nations, Métis and Inuit students, and offers a wide network of services for Indigenous students. Migizii Agamik – Bald Eagle Lodge serves as students’ home away from home and houses the Indigenous Student Centre where students can meet with advisors and mentors to receive academic, financial, cultural, career and personal advice. Public speaking and mentorship programs, such as the Indigenous Circle of Empowerment, give students the confidence and know-how to become leaders in their community, while Access and Aboriginal Focus Programs provide academic, financial and tutoring support to students overcoming social, economic, geographic and academic barriers.
