Indigenous Education Council
The Indigenous Education Council (IEC) has a mandate to promote, guide and oversee the implementation of policies, programing and services that impact Indigenous students while attending Carleton University.
The IEC also works closely with local Indigenous communities to promote the success of all current and future Indigenous students.
The IEC meets once per term during the regular academic year (between September and April).
