Indigenous students may choose to purchase and wear a special stole. The stoles were designed by Indigenous artisan Tammy Beauvais to celebrate the achievements of Indigenous students here at Trent University in a wide variety of disciplines. The First Peoples House of Learning paddle was chosen to represent the supportive network provided for all First Nation, Metis and Inuit students. There is a long tradition of a gifting ceremony to mark significant rites of passage, and with these stoles, we honour the dedication and hard work of our graduates.
