Welcome

The Aboriginal Community Development Centre (ACDC) is a campus-wide initiative aimed at creating opportunities for the region's Aboriginal communities and the University. Mount Allison researchers exchange knowledge and share resources with First Nations and work together to enhance research, community outreach and support for Aboriginal students. The University further wishes to attract more First Nations students to be part of our community.

The ACDC, using an interdisciplinary, community-oriented approach, employs the assets of the respective partners and responds to the emerging priorities of First Nations in the Atlantic region. These priorities include governance, institution building, economic development, education, health, and natural resource development.

Mount Allison University and the Aboriginal Community Development Centre gratefully acknowledge generous support from CIBC. This funding assistance has made the Centre's activities possible.
