Feature Story: First year students find home at Aboriginal Student Centre

Abstract

Morgan Esperance wonders how she would have ever survived her first year of studies without guidance from the Aboriginal Student Centre. Esperance is now a second year student in the journalism program at First Nations University (FNUniv) and is also taking classes at the University of Regina. Esperance and her friend Dominique Head, a fellow journalism student, found critical support from a unique program called nitôncipâmin omâ -"We Are Here" or OMA for short. It’s run out of the Aboriginal Student Centre at the U of R.
