INDIGENOUS STUDENT OFFICE
Champlain Lennoxville’s Indigenous Student Services’ approach is holistic, relationship-oriented, and is designed to connect Indigenous students with their peers and the larger College community.
Students receive personal and individualized support that fosters a sense of belonging and motivation to persist in their chosen field of study.
Support services and activities seek to ensure that Indigenous students experience a welcoming and inclusive community that champions academic success for all students.
Services include:
- A dedicated office space where Indigenous students can gather, study, and spend time together.
- The Advantage Pathway in the Springboard to DCS Program that facilitates making the transition to college life through a program that offers smaller class sizes and collaborative instruction and learning opportunities.
- Indigenous ‘Cougar Buddy’ Program that pairs Indigenous students currently studying at the College with incoming students.
- Individualized academic mentoring and support from the Student Life Counsellor for Indigenous students.
- Indigenous student get-togethers and cultural/social activities that foster a sense of community within the larger student body.
- Assistance in applying for scholarships and post-collegiate and university studies.
