Bishop’s University has opened Kwigw8mna, a new facility that houses the Indigenous Student Support Centre, Indigenous student gathering and study spaces, and an Indigenous research lab. Kwigw8mna—meaning “our house and yours” in Abenaki—aims to foster a sense of belonging by offering students a location where they can share with one another and find support. “This building carries a complicated history, and today, it stands as a place of healing, strength, and Indigenous leadership,” said Bishop’s Associate Director of Indigenous Initiatives Vicky Boldo. “It is a tangible commitment to making Bishop’s a place where Indigenous students feel seen, supported, and valued.”
