Release: CIBC supports New Aboriginal Student Mentorship Program

Abstract

A new mentorship program at the University of Regina will help increase Aboriginal student enrolment and support Aboriginal students’ transition from high school to university life. The CIBC Kâspohtamâtotân Mentorship Program was established by a $225,000 donation from CIBC to the U of R’s Building Dreams and Futures campaign and will connect elementary and high school Aboriginal students with their University counterparts. The Cree word kâspohtamâtotân means “passing knowledge from one generation to another.”
