Student Affairs Divisions: Indigenous Student Services
Indigenous Student Services (ISS) provides and connects Indigenous learners to the support they need to achieve their academic goals.
The division works to promote a safe place for Indigenous learners by removing barriers and providing support in alignment with the following priorities:
- Collaborate with Indigenous and campus partners to develop and apply Indigenous self-identification and ancestry verification practices for student financial aid, awards and special admissions.
- Promote greater enrolment and success of Indigenous learners.
- Identify ways to engage Indigenous students on strategic matters facing Indigenous education at McMaster.
- Provide ongoing access to culture and language through workshops and connections to Elders and Knowledge Keepers.
