UBC has a stated commitment to Aboriginal education and to respect for Aboriginal knowledge and cultures, as well as a resolution to build upon the strengths of the university to more fully address the needs of Aboriginal and Indigenous communities in British Columbia, Canada, and the world.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Within these commitments, what is our academic responsibility to Indigenous graduate students at UBC, particularly in relation to UBC\u2019s priorities for this next century? How do we enact this responsibility across the institution? What are exemplars of success? What are key challenges?<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
