Coady International Institute is pleased to be welcoming 43 participants from 18 countries to our campus for spring certificates in Asset-Based and Citizen-Led Development (ABCD), Women’s Leadership in Community Development, and Social Enterprise for Inclusive Local Economies – a new certificate designed to help balance fiscal realities with an organization’s social mission. The fourth OceanPath Fellowship cohort will also arriving on campus in May to complete their yearlong initiative, before the fifth cohort is welcomed in June.

As participants begin to fill classrooms this spring, Coady’s Student Services department has also been busy processing more than 600 applications for the new thematic certificates to be offered this fall including, Promoting Accountable Democracies, Strengthening Inclusive Economies, and Building Resilient Communities. Coady’s International Centre for Women’s Leadership is processing nearly 700 applications for its Global Change Leaders and Indigenous Women in Community Leadership programs, which will begin in August and October, respectively.

We thank the Coady staff who have been diligently reviewing applications and preparing for participant arrivals, and we look forward to greeting these exceptional leaders here at Coady International Institute.

St. Francis Xavier University and Coady Institute stand on the lands of Mi’kma’ki, the ancestral and unceded home of the Mi’kmaw. We express our deep gratitude and appreciation to the generations of Mi’kmaw who, since time immemorial, have loved and stewarded these lands and the beings who call them home. Colonization is not just history; it exists in the present tense. While we strive to decolonize ourselves and our University, we know there is still much for us to learn.

We are committed to doing the hard work of self-reflection and to repairing relationships with the Mi’kmaw on whose lands we reside, including embracing the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada Calls to Action and embodying their spirit in our plans to move forward with our University.
