It was a conversation that challenged Chancellor Jim Leech (MBA카지노 게임 컬렉션�73), and made him wonder what he could personally do to help.

Approximately a year and a half ago, then-Governor General David Johnston convened a first-ever gathering of all Canadian university chancellors. One of the topics of conversation at that meeting: the Truth and Reconciliation Commission, and the responsibilities of universities and of those in leadership positions to help.

That call to action built on what Chancellor Leech had been hearing and seeing for himself since he started his three-terms as chancellor in 2014. He had participated in a breakfast at the Four Directions Aboriginal Student Centre, attended some of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission Task Force sessions, took part in a blanket exercise with the Aboriginal Council of Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션�s 카지노게임사이트, and got to know then-Director of Four Directions Janice Hill.

카지노 게임 컬렉션�All of those things came together and I started thinking about what I could do to mark the end of my first term,카지노 게임 컬렉션� says Chancellor Leech. 카지노 게임 컬렉션�We know that for all students unplanned events happen, such as family issues or community issues, which may cause a student to drop out. If we카지노 게임 컬렉션�ve got someone who카지노 게임 컬렉션�s come here and worked two or three years, it카지노 게임 컬렉션�s a shame that they might have to drop out for financial reasons.카지노 게임 컬렉션�

So, working with Advancement and Four Directions, the chancellor set out to establish a bursary for Indigenous students. The $15,000 need-based bursary is 카지노 게임 컬렉션�awarded on the basis of demonstrated financial need to Aboriginal students in any year of any faculty or school at Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션�s 카지노게임사이트.카지노 게임 컬렉션� Recipients may be full- or part-time students.

카지노 게임 컬렉션�I remember when I was a student having friends who were towards the end of the year starting to get short on cash and a few hundred dollars might have made the difference between staying in school and dropping out,카지노 게임 컬렉션� says Chancellor Leech. 카지노 게임 컬렉션�The objective of this bursary will be to attract more students and give more students opportunities so that we have more graduates who can contribute to society in their communities, acting as role models in our Canadian society and economy.카지노 게임 컬렉션�

The creation of this bursary fund aligns with the recommendations of Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션�s 카지노게임사이트카지노 게임 컬렉션�s Truth and Reconciliation Commission Task Force Report. It will assist Indigenous students in fully participating in the academic and extra-curricular life of the university and will promote inclusion, retention, and success.

카지노 게임 컬렉션�I am very pleased and honored that the chancellor chose this for his contribution,카지노 게임 컬렉션� says Kanonhsyonne (Janice Hill), Director of Indigenous Initiatives. 카지노 게임 컬렉션�It is a pretty significant signal from the chancellor, and it is consistent with his efforts, dating back to the beginning of his term, to reach out to the Indigenous community. It is also very much filling a need 카지노 게임 컬렉션� we have a lot of entrance scholarships but not a lot for those who are more senior students.카지노 게임 컬렉션�
