NPSIA Student Experience Fund

The Norman Paterson School of International Affairs (NPSIA) has spent more than 60 years preparing graduate students for global careers through an interdisciplinary approach that integrates political science, economics, law, and more. To enhance learning, NPSIA offers experiential trips to places like Washington, D.C., and Geneva, providing first-hand exposure to organizations such as the UN and World Bank.

The NPSIA Student Experience Fund helps make these opportunities more accessible by offsetting travel and participation costs, ensuring all students can benefit from this transformative, hands-on education.

Reporting In Indigenous Communities Course

Carleton’s School of Journalism and Communication is launching the Reporting in Indigenous Communities (RIIC) course, led by Professor Duncan McCue, to teach students how to report responsibly on Indigenous issues.

Through experiential learning, students will work in teams to produce multimedia stories on themes like health and Elders, covering three Ottawa Valley First Nations—Kitigan Zibi, Pikwàkanagàn, and Akwesasne—and Ottawa’s urban Indigenous communities. Classroom lessons, enhanced by Indigenous guest speakers and site visits, will deepen students’ understanding of Indigenous histories and worldviews. This initiative supports reconciliation by fostering respectful journalism and amplifying Indigenous voices in Canadian media.
