3) Provide tailored support throughout the graduate school experience
4) Enhance mentorship opportunities and programming tailored to support students from equity-deserving groups

A Framework for Truth and Reconciliation - Yeates School of Graduate Studies

In 2018 Ryerson University released its report "Truth and Reconciliation at Ryerson University: Building a New Foundation for Generations to Come". In 2019, the Yeates School of Graduate Studies, in conjunction with the Office of Aboriginal Initiatives created a YSGS Indigenous Graduate Student Leadership Circle and held the "Rethinking Graduate Education Forum". The school committed to Indigenizing its practices "...

infusing Indigenous knowledge and perspectives into all of the structural layers of an institution. For YSGS this means our academic and administrative supports as well as our programs and policies. The goal of Indigenizing is to create safer spaces for Indigenous learners: a more inclusive environment that affirms Indigenous worldviews and ultimately enhances and enriches the educational and cultural experience of the entire community.
This framework provides context and guidelines for the Indigenization of the school's graduate programs.
