Future Indigenous Students and Educators
The educational journey of Indigenous students can be an exciting and anxious time. In keeping with traditional teachings of interconnectedness and interrelatedness, TRU Indigenous supports, services and processes have been divided into one of four areas: mental, physical, spiritual and emotional. We hope that this resource will help alleviate the stress of navigating the transition to university.
