Four Directions Indigenous Student Centre

For those who may not yet be aware, Luke is starting at Carleton University in a few short weeks, to work toward his Master of Public Policy and Administration. His last day is Friday of this week!

If you've been around the Centre in the last few years, you've almost certainly met Luke! It may have been when he was a student, student leader, or most recently as a member of our team. And if you have, you have probably also had thoughtful conversations on any number of wide-ranging topics: from history, to Indigeneity, from pop culture to politics.

His positivity and innate ability to make anyone feel welcome within the walls of 4D have always been prominent.

Luke, while you'll be missed dearly, the team at 4D is incredibly proud of you. Baamaapii!

"Sprinkle Week" is 4D's first week of programming to give you a taste of what's to come!
Check out the full schedule here.

It kicks off with our annual Bingo Night and wraps with our Welcome Back BBQ. Join us for crafting in residence, medicine teachings and DIY Smudge Kits, and drumming as well!

Time is flying....we can't wait to see you all soon!

It's that time already! The team at 4D is putting the call out to both Indigenous and non-Indigenous Queen's students and alumni to sign up to volunteer at our annual Welcome Day orientation event for incoming Indigenous students. It being one of 4D's largest and most impactful events each year means that we need many sets of hands to help run a smooth event.

Apply today, here: https://forms.office.com/r/vuxUd6jhBx

Survey closes on July 24th!

Community support callout!
We are assisting a student in getting settled into a new space, and they are looking for gently used/good condition household items. If you have any furniture or kitchen items you might be looking into rehoming, please email our Indigenous Advisor Jessica, to coordinate. [email protected]
