Pursuing a BA in Anthropology

Why did Concordia make sense for you?

I was already aware of the Aboriginal Student Resource Centre, so I knew I would have support on campus. I’d heard that people are very welcoming and social and I’ve found that to be true. I’m connected to a bunch of people now that I never would have met otherwise, because we’re all in different programs.

Why did you choose Concordia?

I just felt like it was my destiny. I believed it would make me happy and it did! I learned that happiness is a choice — and it’s the feeling that everything is as it should be.

What's been the best part of your experience?

A willingness to live openly that I've seen among professors and students. I've had some very good teachers – but sometimes inspiration comes simply from the conversations that happen.

What advice do you have for new students?

My recommendation would be with hard work and dedication, you can reach your goals and you will succeed. Do not doubt for a second that you belong here, there is a place for you and people to welcome and guide you. Never hesitate to ask for help or accept the services offered by the Aboriginal Student Resource Centre.
