NATIONAL INDIGENOUS PEOPLES DAY | 19
SATURDAY, JUNE 17, 2023
The Asper School of Business is proud to celebrate National Indigenous Peoples Day Today and every day we celebrate Indigenous Business Education Partners (IBEP) at the Asper School of Business and the IBEP alumni making an impact and inspiring Indigenous leaders of tomorrow. Since 1994, IBEP has offered a welcoming community as well as tutoring, mentoring, scholarships, networking opportunities and more to First Nation, Métis and Inuit students in pursuit of their Bachelor of Commerce or MBA degree at Asper.
“IBEP was really one of the main reasons for my success. They created a community for me, to help me with my worst days and empower me to do the things that they knew I was capable of.” Carter Wilson [BComm(Hons)/18] Manager, MNP
“Getting post-secondary degrees is part of how we decolonize and move forward to rebuild our Nations and reclaim our participation in the economy of Canada.” Jim Thunder [MBA/17] Director of Economic Development, Norway House Cree Nation
“My first day of university, I met a bunch of students through IBEP. They provide a great community that makes you want to keep giving back. It opened up a ton of other opportunities for me as well.” Cassandra Phaneuf [BComm(Hons)/22] Actuarial Analyst, Intact
