Indigenous students find connection and support at UNB’s Mi’kmaq-Wolastoqey Centre – Education News Canada
September 8, 2025
Indigenous students arriving at the University of New Brunswick (UNB) face the challenge of leaving familiar communities, but the university’s Mi’kmaq-Wolastoqey Centre (MWC) offers them a sense of belonging.
The MWC provides a space where students can find community, cultural connection and practical help navigating university life.
Nancy Harn (BBA’10, MEd’19), Indigenous wellness coordinator, first came to the MWC as a student in 2004.
“MWC was a home base for me. If there was anything I didn’t understand, that’s where I went.”
Indigenous student advisor Alexander Miller (BScENR’24) shares that sense of belonging.
