Indigenous Education Council<\/h2>\n

The Indigenous Education Council (IEC) promotes, guides and oversees the implementation of policies, programs and services that support Indigenous students at Carleton University.<\/p>\n

\n

Stay informed and engaged with our ongoing efforts in Indigenous education. Our meeting minutes provide a transparent record of discussions, decisions and action items related to Indigenous programs, initiatives and partnerships.
