About Indigenous Student Centre at Western University

The Indigenous Student Centre at Western University is a space in the Medway neighborhood for Indigenous students. It provides academic and personal supports, including orientation support for first-year students, tutoring, and financial support services for bursaries and scholarships. The facility includes a study space, gathering area, computer lab, printing services, and kitchen facilities, with after-hours access for registered students. The centre offers the Indigenous Student STEM Access Program, which provides a preliminary year for First Nation, Métis, and Inuit students pursuing Engineering or Science programs. It provides services and counseling available by drop-in or appointment. Students can register for a newsletter and follow the centre on social media. The centre's service delivery model and graphic design are inspired by a Wampum agreement developed by students from the First Nations Studies program and alumni Lori George (Nicholas) and Jason George. The design is based on eight beads representing guiding principles.
