The University of King’s College has expanded its Mi’kmaw Journalism Initiative to include students in the one-year Bachelor of Journalism and Master of Journalism. The initiative covers up to three years of tuition and incidental fees for three Mi’kmaw students each year in order to remove financial barriers to journalism education. “The culture of an institution and conversations in the classroom only start to change when we have good representation, and we’re starting to see that here at King’s,” said UKing’s College Assistant Professor Trina Roache. “Our growing community of Mi’kmaw and other Indigenous students are engaging in cultural activities, gathering at our Mawio’mio’kuom (Indigenous Students Centre) and starting to envision what their experience at King’s can look like.”
