Welcome to Indigenous Student Services! We have officially integrated Indigenous Student Services (ISS) into the Office of Indigenous Relations. Though we anticipate the new Indigenous Student Centre to be renovated in Needles Hall in the upcoming year, we have plenty of programming and supports for you right now.
Ìý
In the meantime, please visit OIR at EC5 2401 for Indigenous students to access staff for support, and have a place to study or connect.
