The Office of Indigenous Initiatives and Laurier International have conducted a literature review, survey, and focus group to better understand Indigenous student needs and preferences as it relates to engaging in international opportunities while at Laurier. Please join us to hear about the results of the research, the interpretation of the data, and discuss recommendations for planning future international educational programs to better meet Indigenous students’ needs and how our programming can be elevated through an Indigenous lens.
