Lakehead University Indigenous Student Services Centre The Office of Indigenous Initiatives at Lakehead University provides support to Indigenous students t

ISSC (formally ACSS) has been a part of Lakehead University since 1987. At the Thunder Bay campus,ISS provides a culturally supportive environment to all Indigenous students including Status, Non-Status, Inuit, and Metis. ISS helps Indigenous students to achieve success in their academic goals through a variety of support services. Every year we adapt our support services to provide academic, individual, and cultural services that are based on student's needs. These services include administrative, personal, transitional supports, and orientation. ISS offers a continual welcome to all students, staff, and faculty who wish to learn more about Indigenous culture, traditions, and teachings. The Thunder Bay campus has an Indigenous student lounge, which is a hub for student activities throughout the year. It provides academic tutoring, study sessions, and much more. The Gakina Nindinawemaaganag lounge offers and open and comfortable environment where students can access a study area, kitchenette, and computer lab. In addition, we have a cultural room for individual or group sessions with our Elder In Residence Program. The lounge is a home away from home for Indigenous students who are pursuing their dream of post-secondary education.
