Native Student Centre

"Honoring culture through student support services"

The Native Student Centre Volunteers have an understanding of Native cultures and of the needs and issues faced by Native people while pursuing their education. Whatever the need, or if you just want a place to find friends on your academic journey. The Native Student Centre will add to your success while attending Mount Royal College and in your future endeavours.

 

History of the Native Student Centre
 The plans for the Native Student Centre (NSC) were approved by Students' Council on February 9, 1998. The NSC opened on November 9, of that same year in the Wyckham House Student Centre. The Native Student Centre was the vision of HUNDREDS of Aboriginal students who recognized the need for support services for the increasing population of Aboriginal students on campus.
