Hi! I’m Georgia Campbell, a Level 4 student in Mechanical Engineering and Integrated Biomedical Engineering. I serve as the Internal Liaison for Indigenous Health Matters (IHM), connecting the executive team with general members, faculty and staff (including ISS and IHLL), and other Indigenous student groups across campus. My Métis heritage and upbringing in Northern Ontario have deeply influenced my passion for Indigenous health and wellbeing, which is why I’m proud to be part of IHM. This is my third year with the organization, previously serving as Speaker Coordinator and Co-Chair, and I’m continually inspired by the community we’re building. I’m especially excited to share the insightful, thoughtful conversations about Indigeneity that Indigenous students at McMaster are leading.

Hi! My name is Dilakshi and I am in my 5th year of the Biochemistry Co-op program with a minor in Indigenous studies. This is my 3rd year with the team and I am working as a speaker coordinator. I reach out to potential speakers with research background, life experience, and healers to come and talk to students at McMaster. I am fortunate to take courses at McMaster about Indigenous worldviews, research, knowledge, and culture. I hope for more students to educate themselves and have the opportunity to learn from Indigenous peoples. I am looking forward to our speaker series again this year! Working with IHM is wonderful, with a wholesome team that will work to support McMaster students.
