LU Aboriginal Alumni Group Formed

There is a new aboriginal alumni chapter at Lakehead University.

The chapter of LU's Alumni Association is designed to connect the university's aboriginal graduates with each other and the institution.

Manager of Alumni Relations, Richard Longtin says it's an efforts to get the students more involved with the university.

"So it was a partnership with Aboriginal Initiatives, an office on campus," says Longtin, "and the Alumni Association department to get more aboriginal graduates to be mentors and to be more involved with the campus as a whole."

Longtin says like other organizations, the chapter will host a variety of events and activities for its members.
