Moving Forward Looking Back - Summer Library Initiatives
This summer we had a team of five summer students and they worked on the Moving Forward Looking Back initiatives. With lots of conversations, dialogues, reflections the students focused on four themes: Skill development via the summer experiential learning program, Partnerships created via book giveaways, Youth Summit event which involved hearing the voices of our youth, and let’s learn project management skills by viewing the book giveaway timeline and history. Based on these four themes the following seven brochures were created by our summer students.
Title, Year: Summer Student Brochure, 2019
Summary: The Samson Summer Student Program is an opportunity for students, who are continuing to go back to school in the fall, a chance to work during the summer time. Students have the opportunity to work with the business in their community, such as the Band Office, Community Initiatives, Maskwacis Cultural College, the Howard Buffalo Memorial Center (HBMC), the Friendship Center, Nipisikopahk Education Association, and many other business offered within the Program. This program has given students an income to help with their future for school and has given them an excellent amount of work experience that would look amazing on a resume. Plus, acquire a reference letter. The summer students of MCC show what they learned working for the program.
