Our Community
For many years Cedar has created opportunity for Indigenous students to come to the UBC campus and experience Scientific learning while being exposed to many of the opportunities that exist for Indigenous students on campus. Cedar could not happen without our community. This includes the students who have volunteered in Cedar programming and have through their efforts on campus served as role models for Indigenous youth, our partner organizations on and off campus who have helped arranged our educational programming, and our donors whose generous support allows us to continue to offer our programming.
