Aaniin! Boozhoo!
September is now almost gone and we are well into the Autumn weather here in Alberta! Students are back in classes as the Fall 2013 semester gets underway.
Some important things to note are application dates for Fall 2014 will be coming up soon! Some institutions open applications for next year as early as October 1 2013. Check institutional websites often for updates and important deadlines to make sure you are on-track for your plan to post-secondary!
Some AARN members will be participating in many ELAA events http://elaa.ab.ca/ so be sure to check if the institution you are interested in will be visiting a school near you.
A great resource for Aboriginal students and educators was recently launched through the Association of Universities and Colleges of Canada (AUCC) Check it out for information on admissions, applications, scholarships and even stories from current Aboriginal students from various institutions across Canada http://www.aucc.ca/canadian-universities/aboriginal-student-resources/
AARN is currently working to complete institutional updates for Aboriginal communities in Alberta to be compiled into one CD. If you are interested in receiving one of these CD's, please email us at aboriginal.recruitment.alberta@gmail.com
As always, if you have any questions about AARN, or you would like to invite AARN members to come to your career or education fair, please contact us!
Happy Autumn!
Tori and Amber

Greetings! Aaniin! Oki! Bonjour! Tansi! Boozhoo! Danit'ada!
Hello from the Alberta Aboriginal Recruitment Network (AARN) co-chairs!
We will post information here about the intended travels of our group and interesting items related to Aboriginal Education such as job postings, scholarships and education events.
Cheers,
Tori and Amber
In case you haven't met us in person, we'd like to take a moment to tell you a little bit about ourselves:
Amber's family is from Mnjikaning First Nation in Ontario, but she grew up in the Calgary area. Amber
works at the University of Calgary, having held the position of the
Aboriginal and Multicultural Recruiter
for the past two years. She is currently in her final year of the
M.Ed. Interdisciplinary Inclusive Leadership program offered through the
U of C. On a recent trip to Hong Kong, she took a day trip to Macau to
complete the World's Highest Bungy Jump (233
m!).
Tori's family hails
from Berens River in Manitoba. He has been at Mount Royal University
for three years, coordinating the Aboriginal Education Program (AEP).
Prior to that he was a teacher in Treaty 7 for
ten years. He is the proud father of two sons, ages 2 and 11. He is
looking forward to golfing and rafting when the rivers subside here in
Calgary.
Feel free to reach us primarily through the general AARN email:
aboriginal.recruitment.We will post information here about the intended travels of our group and interesting items related to Aboriginal Education such as job postings, scholarships and education events.
Cheers,
Tori and Amber
