Congratulations to Wenona Victor, UFV’s first faculty member hired under the Indigenous Studies category. She was recently chosen as one of the Top 50 most inspiring graduate students from the over 22,000 graduate degrees that have been conferred by Simon Fraser University in the last five decades, as part of SFU’s 50th anniversary celebrations.
Victor’s role at UFV includes teaching Indigenous content courses (Hist 103, Crim 211, current IPK courses and IS courses to come), helping UFV implement the major/minor in Indigenous Studies, and working with the Office of Indigenous Affairs and Aboriginal Access Services to increase Indigenous student enrollment and programming.
