Indigenous students
The Otsenhákta Student Centre is an on-campus resource for First Nations, Inuit and Métis students. Otsenhákta, IPA pronunciation od͡zʌ̃ˈhɑkdɑ (O-TSEN-HAK-TA), is a Kanien'kéha word meaning “near the fire.”
The centre is a warm place where Indigenous students can find community, support and assistance. We help students succeed and achieve their highest academic potential by working with them to make the most of the many resources available at the university.
IMPORTANT MESSAGE
The Otsenhákta Student Centre drop-in remains closed until further notice, however our staff continue to provide counseling and academic support remotely.
Students may reach out to our staff between 9AM-5PM, Monday-Friday via e-mail or Facebook to arrange an appointment.
Our Cultural Support worker Vicky Boldo is available through email vicky.boldo@concordia.ca or by Facebook messenger. We are fully available at any time when a student is in need.
