The Athabasca University Graduate Students Association (AUGSA) warmly invites AU students to take part in Celebrating Indigenous Knowledge and Community at AU and Beyond, a National Indigenous History Month event series taking place on Mondays in June. The series is led by AUGSA in close partnership with the Faculty of Graduate Studies, with support from the Wicihitowin Indigenous Student Alliance (WISA), Nukskahtowin, and other AU partners.
