About

Indigenous Achievement Week (IAW) is an annual University of Saskatchewan event that celebrates Métis, First Nations and Inuit students, staff, faculty and alumni’s successes. This year’s IAW was held March 10 to 14, 2025.

Throughout the week, various events hosted by USask units and colleges are held, including:

  • A grounding circle to start the week off in a good way. 

  • The Indigenous Student Achievement Awards Ceremony that celebrates Indigenous student success. Students are honoured for their academic achievement, community engagement, leadership, research and resiliency. See the list and biographies of 2025 awardees.
