This year, the ASA has been formally grounded and plans to continue to thrive! By being a member of the Aboriginal Student Association, you have the opportunity to meet a lot of great Aboriginal students both on and off of campus. The ASA provides students with a culturally supportive environment. The Aboriginal Student Association\u2019s goal is to provide cultural awareness to UPEI while building capacity within the Aboriginal community and academic community. The hope of the ASA is to provide cultural awareness surrounding Aboriginal issues as well as organize social activities for our students. By having more students involved and being each other\u2019s shoulder to lean on, we hope that students will be successful in their academic studies.<\/p>\n<h1><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">Contact the <\/span><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">Mawi\u2019omi Indigenous Student Centre<\/span><\/h1>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">If you require any support, assistance, or would like to learn more be sure to reach out to us via email mawiomi@upei.ca or via phone (902) 620-5125\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/projects.upei.ca\/nso\/files\/2021\/06\/mawiomi.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"599\" src=\"https:\/\/projects.upei.ca\/nso\/files\/2021\/06\/mawiomi.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1244\" srcset=\"https:\/\/projects.upei.ca\/welcomeweek\/files\/2021\/06\/mawiomi.jpg 900w, https:\/\/projects.upei.ca\/welcomeweek\/files\/2021\/06\/mawiomi-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/projects.upei.ca\/welcomeweek\/files\/2021\/06\/mawiomi-768x511.jpg 768w, https:\/\/projects.upei.ca\/welcomeweek\/files\/2021\/06\/mawiomi-451x300.jpg 451w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The Mawi\u2019omi Indigenous Student Centre located on 5th Floor Dalton Hall<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>P\u2019jilasi!Be sure to join the UPEI Mawi\u2019omi Student Center Facebook Group!
