Closing remarks from @bous_steph80 - "There's a great many things that have been said here, there's a great need to listen" #MSIL2018

Language isn't so much taught, as passed on. How can universities help remove the obstacles to it being passed on? #MSIL2018

Commending the people you're working with to each other's bosses - deans love opening their inboxes to find that someone thinks their prof is doing a good job! Meeting with university officials can be also helpful #MSIL2018

Where people go to for Indigenous advisory at universities: the Indigenous Studies program, First Nations/First People's House - many universities have been creating Vice President (Indigenous Academic) positions in the past year or two #MSIL2018

More recently, you can now do Exceptional Entry for all degree programs at @uvic, not just the language program, but it started with Lorna Williams in the Masters of Indigenous Languages #MSIL2018
