“Coming from a Northern remote community and moving far from home to pursue my education was a huge adjustment for my family and me. Thanks to Nipissing, the transition wasn’t as tough as I anticipated; the Of ce of Indigenous Initiatives was welcoming and supportive right from the beginning. The Indigenous Foundations Program was bene cial for me especially because I had no previous post-secondary experience. It set me up for success with smaller class sizes, great professors and staff that worked with me one-on-one to learn at my pace. My plans are to continue into the Social Work program and I am eagerly awaiting my professional years. I am extremely grateful for the cultural support and services that are available to me as a student.” Julie, Child and Family Studies student, Hometown: Moose Factory, ON
