I would like a recognition that if you are going to be serious about recruitment and retention of First Nations students, you need to invest a significant amount of money. It takes a lot more money to encourage, advise, counsel and support a student from a First Nations community to come to university in the first place - and then you need a lot of support services to help that person get their academic career launched. |
Kim has an excellent understanding of the structure of the university's academic programs and has worked closely with administrative staff in many of the faculties and the university's support units to assure coordination and smooth transitions for students enrolled in Continuing Studies programs. |
