We are thankful to be welcome on these lands in friendship. The lands we are situated on are covered by the Williams Treaties and are the traditional territory of the Mississaugas, a branch of the greater Anishinaabeg Nation, including Algonquin, Ojibway, Odawa and Pottawatomi. These lands remain home to many Indigenous nations and peoples.

We acknowledge this land out of respect for the Indigenous nations who have cared for Turtle Island, also called North America, from before the arrival of settler peoples until this day. Most importantly, we acknowledge that the history of these lands has been tainted by poor treatment and a lack of friendship with the First Nations who call them home.

This history is something we are all affected by because we are all treaty people in Canada. We all have a shared history to reflect on, and each of us is affected by this history in different ways. Our past defines our present, but if we move forward as friends and allies, then it does not have to define our future.

Technology-Enriched Learning Environment

One of the greatest advantages of our university's approach is that all students have equal access to the same technology resources and services. Whether you are inside or outside of the classroom, state-of-the-art academic software allows you to download class notes, work on your own or with others and enjoy seamless access to online resources.

You are exposed to course-specific software, which is a great benefit in today's competitive job market.

All students are part of BYOD TELE and will receive class software through the university’s software portal and software support (located in the Library). Additional services include rental laptops, general-use workstations (GUWs), laptop standards and suggested devices to aid in acquiring the right laptop.
