The University of Alberta’s Augustana campus celebrated 100 years of history in Camrose with the university’s annual round dance as part of the celebrations. Hundreds gathered on Jan. 29 to help honour Aboriginal graduates from the past, who each received an Eagle feather.
Since May 2008, Augustana has recognized the academic accomplishments of graduating Aboriginal students in an Honouring Ceremony during convocation.
