Without the extraordinary support that I received at that time, I&#8217;m confident I would not be where I am today. I can only hope that whatever good I manage to pay forward serves as a sufficient expression of my gratitude. &#8211; Kia Dunn, B.A. 2010 &amp; M.A. 2013<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p><em>Note: The information on this page is up-to-date as of July 20, 2022.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":9100,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"cu_people_first_name":"Kia","cu_people_last_name":"Dunn","cu_people_initials":"","footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"cu_people_type":[46],"cu_people_expertise":[],"class_list":["post-9099","cu_people","type-cu_people","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","cu_people_type-alumni"],"acf":{"cu_people_job_title":"Research Lead, Indigenous Home-Lands at Ecotrust Canada","cu_people_degree":"B.A. Philosophy (Carleton), M.A. Philosophy (Carleton), J.D.
