Scotiabank Mentor Programs The First Nations’ Governance program offers two mentor programs, a Junior and Senior High Mentor Program and an Aboriginal Alumni Mentor Program. Both programs enhance and enrich the learning experience of FNMI students at the University of Lethbridge and those students who live in the city of Lethbridge and surrounding communities, including the Blood and Peigan Reserves.
Aboriginal Mentor Program (in conjunction with the FNMI Alumni chapter) First Nations, Métis and Inuit U of L alumni serve as mentors to FNMI students at the University of Lethbridge. The alumni support, give advice and help to instill confidence in students. 20
Elders Program Elders are on campus one full day each week throughout the fall and spring semesters. They alternate their schedules so that they are available and accessible to students. The Elders are located in the Elders and Ceremony Room, which is next to the Native American Students’ Association Lounge. The objective of the Elders Program is to provide guidance, spiritual support and encouragement to the students.
Junior and Senior High Mentor Program FNMI students at the U of L provide guidance to junior and senior high students attending Lethbridge and reserve schools. This program enables U of L students to act as role models to the Aboriginal students who are at the secondary
level. The interaction helps encourage the younger students to pursue a post-secondary education.
Tutoring Program The First Nations’ Governance program offers free tutorial support to FNMI students. FNMI students who request assistance are matched with student tutors.
