The Nest

In this episode, UVic Native Students’ Union (NSU) Outreach Officer Ave Federspiel chats with Martlet Operations Manager Rae Dawson about opportunities and services the NSU provides to support Indigenous students at UVic. They unpack the history of the NSU, programs to bolster Indigenous student’s wellbeing such as the NSU’s Carebox, Fresh Prep, and Guestcard Programs, and overcoming imposter syndrome to claim your birthright as an Indigenous post-secondary student.
