The McGill Students Chapter of AISES Welcomes You!
A little about ourselvesThe American Indian Science and Engineering Society (AISES) is an organization based primarily in the U.S. focused on promoting Indigenous involvement in the Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematic (STEM) related fields.
The McGill Students Chapter of AISES focuses on directly engaging local Aboriginal youth in any STEM discipline. We are all students at McGill University and collaborate with McGill's First Peoples’ House in outreach events. We also create and facilitate our own outreach and community events. Our goal as members of AISES is not only to participate in various internal and external events at McGill and the surrounding community, but also to fundraise and send a few of our members to the AISES National Conference and Leadership Summit held annually. We are incredibly honored to be hosting the AISES Northeastern regional conference this year. For those that have any questions, are wanting to learn more about our AISES college chapter, or are interested in either AISES or the McGill First Peoples’ House, please contact us and visit the FPH website. |

Our mission is adopted from the AISES mission, which states, "The mission of the American Indian Science and Engineering Society (AISES) is to substantially increase the representation of American Indians and Alaskan Natives in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) studies and careers."
