Professors Nicole Ives & Wanda Gabriel, 2021 Recipients of ÎÛÎÛ²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵ's Award for Equity & Community Building
Professors Nicole Ives and Wanda Gabriel have been selected as the 2021 recipients of ÎÛÎÛ²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵ’s Award for Equity and Community Building. Their pioneering work with Indigenous Access ÎÛÎÛ²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵ, the Field Studies course, Indigenous initiatives at ÎÛÎÛ²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵ, and most recently the BSW program to be delivered in Nunavik are some of the outstanding contributions that are being recognized by ÎÛÎÛ²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵ for this award. Through their teaching, scholarship, and service to the university and to the community, Professors Gabriel and Ives have demonstrated a sustained and impactful commitment to equity and decolonization at ÎÛÎÛ²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵ. Without their gentle but firm guidance our School and the university would be facing an even steeper challenge as we engage in meeting ÎÛÎÛ²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵ’s strategic priorities with respect expanding diversity and connecting with communities.
