UVic indigenous Adult Orientation for Graduate School

**My apologies to those on the other side of the country whom might find this post a bit out of the way. As a UVic student myself, a lot of my forwarded information is BC based. Therefore, if you come across similar programs that are open Nation-wide, please leave a comment or e-mail me and we can distribute such info! **

The University of Victoria is hosting an Indigenous Adult Orientation Summer program from Monday June 18th - Thursday June 21st, 2012.

Here is the program info:

"The Indigenous Adult Graduate Student Orientation program is for potential Indigenous graduate students who have completed their undergraduate degree, or are currently in their 4th year, and would like to explore their graduate studies options at the University of Victoria. Successful applicants will stay on-campus in residence for four days, have campus tours, meet Indigenous graduate students and faculty, and participate in a variety of graduate studies preparation workshops.

Applications are open to Indigenous (including First Nations—status/non-status, Métis and Inuit) citizens of Canada, and will be reviewed on a first-come, first-serve basis. There are 15 seats available, and this program is fully funded to include travel reimbursement, accommodation and food."

For more information and/or to request an
application form, please contact:

Did you get the part about fully funded (via reimbursement)?! Awesome! Uvic does have some great Graduate programs....including social work.

Here is the link to: Uvic School of Social Work.

As some of you may or may not know, UVic has a Master of Social Work program with an Indigenous Specialization!

Click here to read more about it.

And to use my biased position as a current Uvic graduate student, let me just say it is a lovely university with some of the largest numbers of Aboriginal staff and faculty for any Canadian University.

I will be gathering up information on more Indigenous specific programs shortly in a separate post to compliment the Uvic info above.

Contact Lalita if you are interested in attending the adult orientation. I also have a copy of the graduate application copy, however it would be best to contact her.

Meegwetch!
