Bachelor of Arts, Sociology & Native Studies

“My home community is Canupawakpa
Dakota Nation and my bloodline is Dakota.
Where I come from plays a big part of who
I am today and what I choose to study. In 2015,
I attended the annual Graduation Powwow
and I watched in pride how BU acknowledged
and honoured the Indigenous Graduates.
I applied to BU a few weeks later and since
then have taken a leading role on campus in
student government. Being part of the Brandon
University Aboriginal Student Collective led
me to many great people and experiences.”

     Since coming to Brandon University, I have
     noticed my own transition, growth and shift in

Brandon University offers a wide range of experiential learning
opportunities. Rae Lynn was chosen to attend the 2018
Canadian Conference on Student Leadership in Toronto.

“I learned so much about how to be a good leader and how
to empower others. I met a lot of amazing people and we
talked a lot about our volunteer programs. I was able to bring
back and share a number of ideas to the Brandon University
Student Leader program. I discovered that I have the power
as a leader to encourage and empower others and I should
use that to make a positive difference in people’s lives.”
