SIX NATIONS POLYTECHNIC 1 PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE

Welcome to SNP

On behalf of Six Nations Polytechnic, I welcome you to join us in preparing for a stronger, healthier future for all who share this land.

Through this viewbook, you will discover that SNP is committed to supporting the development of confident, knowledgeable and skilled members of society. With distinguished instructors and smaller class sizes, SNP students experience a culturally supportive, interactive learning environment designed to support success.

At SNP, you will find a range of programs to choose from. What makes SNP unlike any other post-secondary school in Canada is our ability to offer first-hand Indigenous knowledge, education and skills training to everyone who is committed to learning. For example, SNP is the only place in Canada where one can attain a Bachelor of Arts in Ogwehoweh languages (Mohawk or Cayuga).

Whether you are coming to us from Six Nations, or other communities and cities, everyone at Six Nations Polytechnic – staff, students and instructors included – is expected to follow the values of Ga’nigohi:yo:/Kanikoriio (Respect and the Good Mind). These values include fairness, sharing, honesty, kindness, integrity, responsibility, openness and more. If these values resonate with you and you are looking to learn in a truly unique environment designed for your success, I encourage you to choose Six Nations Polytechnic.

Nya:węh

REBECCA JAMIESON President and CEO
