Learning, connection and support are key elements of the Mi'kmaw Native Friendship Centre Aboriginal Academic Access Post-Secondary (AAAPS) program, a venture t...hat’s providing Indigenous students with post-secondary education in partnership with MSVU. The program, which launched in 2019 as a pilot project and welcomed its second intake in September 2020, gives participants the opportunity to get to know one another and learn in a community setting while also accessing the cultural supports and other services the Centre provides. Alicia Littlejohn, a student who was a member of the 2019 intake who is now continuing her studies at MSVU, had this to say about the program: In the past, I would go to school and go home and there was no sense of community and definitely no Indigenous students. Being Indigenous is a part of you not just in school, but in general. Speaking about the history of Canada and topics to do with racism and colonialism can be a little bit awkward, but being with people who understood it felt a little bit easier.
