In this newly developed position within the Faculty of Agriculture, Art will be working to help foster Aboriginal student success by providing specialized advising and support. Additionally, the position will serve to assist faculty and staff to create a welcoming and inclusive campus environment.

You can find Art just outside Student Services in the Dairy Building directly across from the security office. – please drop by for a visit!
