First Nations University of Canada - Students' Association (FNUnivSA) was formed in 1994 by students of the First Nations University of Canada (then, the Saskatchewan Indian Federated College-SIFC). The "FNUnivSA" is a membership-driven, non-profit, organization currently representing the students of the First Nations University of Canada (FNUniv), Regina campus.
FNUnivSA Mission Statement is, "to represent FNUniv students by providing awareness and advocating for student needs while enhancing the total student experience".
FNUnivSA Vision Statement is, "to be active and engaged students in a positive environment."
The FNUnivSA is an active member of the Canadian Federation of Students (Local 90). Members of FNUnivSA are also members of the University of Regina Students Union (URSU).
The FNUnivSA created a website www.FNUniverse.com (2007) and newsletter (2006) in response to lack of communication on campus.
The organization will soon be incorporated under the Non-profit Corporations Act, 1995.
The FNUnivSA is involved with the fight to get the federal government to restore funding to the University.
Famous quotes containing the words nations, university and/or association:
“Poor nations are hungry, and rich nations are proud; and pride and hunger will ever be at variance.”
—Jonathan Swift (1667–1745)
“I am not willing to be drawn further into the toils. I cannot accede to the acceptance of gifts upon terms which take the educational policy of the university out of the hands of the Trustees and Faculty and permit it to be determined by those who give money.”
—Woodrow Wilson (1856–1924)
“It is not merely the likeness which is precious ... but the association and the sense of nearness involved in the thing ... the fact of the very shadow of the person lying there fixed forever! It is the very sanctification of portraits I think—and it is not at all monstrous in me to say ... that I would rather have such a memorial of one I dearly loved, than the noblest Artist’s work ever produced.”
—Elizabeth Barrett Browning (1806–1861)
