Indigenous Higher Education Fair Brings Future into Focus

On Oct. 8, 11 Alberta universities, colleges and technical programs turned out for an afternoon of show-and-tell to help MANS students and alumni explore their skills, options and possible careers. “X” said Kim Harrington, high school vice principal and further education liaison who coordinated the event. The brainchild of Post Secondary Indigenous Recruitment Association of Alberta, the fair was created by Indigenous professionals to encourage youth to pursue education after graduation from high school.
