NAIT is hiring an additional Indigenous Recruitment Specialist! 😄 This role focuses on Indigenous student recruitment, community engagement, outreach, advising, and supporting prospective Indigenous students as they explore post-secondary pathways. Please feel free to share this opportunity.

🗓️ Job posting closes on June 30, 2026: https://nait.wd10.myworkdayjobs.com/en-US/NAIT_Careers/details/Indigenous-Recruitment-Specialist--Nshkamtotn-Centre_JR100377

Convocation is nearly here! 👩‍🎓 With that comes the first opportunity at NAIT for First Nations, Métis, and Inuit graduates to showcase their cultural pride in a unique way. The indigenous stoles can be worn with the traditional cap, gown, and hood as they celebrate their journey! 🌄

We can’t wait to see these at the ceremonies in June! They will be available for pick up during grad gown pick up dates at Shop at NAIT 🎓

“I think it'd be really culturally significant to show young kids that, yeah, you can do it,” says Knight of adding the stole to his graduation gown. “It doesn't matter what stage of life you're in, you follow your dreams and you can make stuff happen, right? And I think NAIT was a huge part of me being successful.”

- Peter Knight (Professional Meat Cutting and Merchandising ’26)

Indigenous cultural stoles designed for NAIT convocation Indigenous graduates offered cultural stoles to wear at NAIT convocation

Today, we wear red to honour those affected by the ongoing crisis of Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls, and 2SLGBTQIA+ people.

Thank you to the folks from the library for putting together this collection of reading, available to any Staff or Student. We also appreciate the Centre for Community and Belonging for creating the Red Dress piece as an interactive way to learn.
