🎉 Help us welcome Larae into her new role as temporary Indigenous Student Life Coordinator! Students can still find her at the Burnaby Campus in AQ 2002. Feel free to drop by the centre to say hi, Larae is excited to connect with you!

Larae Wycotte is a proud member of Williams Lake First Nation. She is Secwepemc on her mom's side and Tsilhqot’in on her dad's side. Larae is excited to step into her new role at the ISC as a temporary Indigenous Student Life Coordinator.

Larae has worked with the ISC as an Indigenous Student Ambassador since September 2024, while completing her education at SFU. She will graduate in June with her Bachelor of Arts Honours in Criminology and a Certificate in Legal Studies. She is excited to continue assisting and supporting Indigenous students navigating student life by connecting them with student resources and helping provide students with a sense of belonging.

Larae is looking forward to further developing meaningful connections with the SFU ISC Community. Larae enjoys spending time with her family and beading. She often travels to Williams Lake with her daughters, Taya and Kyla to visit their dad and the rest of their family.
