Lori has served as the Director of the Waterloo Indigenous Student Centre (WISC) at St. Paul’s for the past four years. She has also been a popular lecturer in the Indigenous Studies Minor offered by St. Paul’s for the Faculty of Arts.
Lori has done excellent work to enhance the services offered by the WISC, to promote Indigenous research and to advance the cause of Indigenization at our College, our University and in the broader community. In a short period of time, she has developed a remarkably high profile both on and off-campus – all to the benefit of the WISC, St. Paul’s and the University of Waterloo.
Lori has been the recipient of a wide range of academic and community honours in her time here including the Ontario Women’s directorate’s Leading Women Building Communities Award, University of Waterloo’s Equity and Inclusivity Award, UNESCO Global Action Program Award for Regional Centre of Expertise on Education and Sustainable Development and the 2021 National Women of Inspiration Award.
We will miss Lori, but we are immensely appreciative of what she has accomplished and delighted to see her personal professional advancement.
