"17³Ô¹Ï has always been a supportive and collaborative academic environment."

What brought you to 17³Ô¹Ï? Why did you choose to study here?

I am a proud 17³Ô¹Ï alumnus, having completed my degree in Foods and Nutrition and my Dietetic Internship here. Currently, I work at 17³Ô¹Ï as the Professional Practice Coordinator for the Dietetic Internship Program, so returning for my graduate studies felt like a natural choice. 17³Ô¹Ï has always been a supportive and collaborative academic environment, and I was eager to be part of this community again.

Reminder: Red Dress Day is May 5

Red Dress Day is a National Day of Awareness and Action for Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls, and Gender Diverse Peoples (MMIWG2S) that takes place on May 5. It is a day to remember, to learn, and to take action.

No one knows exactly how many Indigenous women, girls, and gender diverse people have gone missing or have been murdered in Canada, but some estimates indicate the number is more than 4,000 since 1980. It may be much higher.
