Thirteen MEd students set to graduate in Iqaluit tomorrow

| Students

The second Nunavut Master of Education (MEd) cohort of thirteen students will graduate in Iqaluit on Saturday, June 1 at a special convocation celebration. Two elders will also receive honorary degrees.

The program, co-taught by alumnae and instructors with experience in Nunavut, was delivered in Nunavut with the exception of two summer courses at UPEI, giving participants an opportunity to experience the University's campus and Prince Edward Island.

Respected elders, Donald Uluadluak and Rhoda Karetak will be presented with honorary degrees. Uluadluak has helped deepen the graduates' understanding of Inuit traditional knowledge-also known as Inuit Qaujimajatuqangit. Karetak, a cultural advocate and educator has an intense passion for teaching and passing on her skills to others.

In 2009, the first Nunavut MEd cohort graduated 21 successful students.

UPEI congratulates all 2013 Nunavut MEd graduates!
