Welcome to Season 4 of Choose UCalgary, the University of Calgary’s prospective student podcast. The Choose UCalgary podcast is intended for any prospective student who is hoping to learn more about the University of Calgary. We will chat with key representatives from the UCalgary community to help keep you updated and informed about all things UCalgary. 

Episode 12: In this episode, season 4 host Aidyn Vanattan chats with Austin Bercier and Michael Francis, two current students here at the University of Calgary who are involved in the Calgary Indigenous Students STEAM Association (CISSA). Austin belongs to the Métis Nation of Alberta Region III and Michael has Plains Cree ancestry. These students discuss their UCalgary journey, applying as an Indigenous student, the various support on campus such as the Writing Symbols Lodge, and most of all what CISSA is and why students should be involved!
