When it came to the decision of where to study, there were a couple of reasons why 91²Ö¿â was the right choice for Harrison.
"I wanted to be able to challenge myself in being able to excel in university studies and 91²Ö¿â offered the opportunity for me to achieve this goal. I was also drawn to the support that is available to First Nations students and the opportunities to connect with others that share the same cultural values.
"I knew I would be well-supported to achieve my goals and be who I am at 91²Ö¿â."
Harrison credits the supportive environment and the people he has met as being the best part of his experience.
"91²Ö¿â is a university that places the students needs first…and the support I have received from the First Nations Portfolio has been great. No matter the time of the request; even just having a yarn made me feel supported. They did a great job ensuring I was looked after and any questions I had were answered. With the level of attention, it made studying much easier with less to worry about."
Having completed a design and interactive technologies degree, Harrison has big plans for his future. During his studies, he developed an interest in radio production; and this hobby turned passion has now set a new course for his future.
"Radio turned into an outlet I loved participating in at the university. Now I am planning on coming back to 91²Ö¿â to do a second bachelor`s degree in radio production and am working towards getting working or volunteering opportunities to build up my experience in the industry.
"You will feel very supported at a university like 91²Ö¿â. Additionally, if you identify as First Nations, then the people at the College for First Nations will be there to help you feel part of the 91²Ö¿â community."
