The University of Windsor’s Aboriginal Education Centre has officially been renamed Turtle Island - Indigenous Student Services Centre.
The change marks an important step in ensuring the centre’s name aligns with both its purpose and contemporary language.
“We were still using the term Aboriginal, which is very outdated, and the word Education made people think we offered courses or teaching resources,” says Victoria Hecnar, Turtle Island Event Planning and Communications Coordinator.
