Inuit Tapiriit Kanatami is currently evaluating applications from communities across Nunavut who wish to host Inuit Nunangat University’s main campus. Nunatsiaq Online explains that interested communities were asked to share information on factors such as their community services, land availability, and transportation access. The main campus will include a central facility and living accommodations with housing for 100 students. Regional knowledge centres will be used across Inuit Nunangat—the homeland of the Inuit in Canada—to provide localized programming. More information is expected to be released in the fall after ITK’s Board of Directors reviews the submissions and selects communities to submit full proposals. The main campus is expected to accept its first students in 2030.
