A brief description of the innovative policy, practice, program, or outcome that outlines how credit criteria are met and any positive measurable outcomes associated with the innovation:
Families and their graduates are invited to participate in Mount Royal University's Indigenous Honouring Ceremonies, celebrating their accomplishments as a community.
The Iniskim Centre and Mount Royal University extend their wishes to honor individuals on their successful completion of degree, diploma, or certificate programs.
Throughout the event, attendees will listen to celebratory messages from Elders, MRU senior leadership, and Iniskim Centre staff. They will also participate in traditional ceremonies such as blanket, eagle feather, or Métis sash ceremonies, marking their educational achievements as steps toward a fulfilling life.
Following the ceremony, the community is encouraged to share stories, celebrate, and connect with those who have supported the graduates throughout their academic journeys.
Indigenous graduates are welcomed and encouraged to wear traditional regalia to the ceremony, either in place of or alongside the traditional cap and gown attire.
