USask Indigenous Engineering Initiatives

Morgan Speiser’s work ethic has been instrumental in her academic success, seeing her through highs and lows in the classroom, a part of any engineering degree. Speiser, who is Métis and has ancestry in the Muskeg Lake Cree Nation, received a University of Saskatchewan Indigenous Student Achievement Award for academics during Indigenous Achievement Week this month. “I was extremely honoured that they reached out to me for this,” she said.
She also draws strength from being part of the Métis community. “Definitely since I’ve become an adult, I’ve been able to explore it more on my own. I’ve really come to appreciate that part of myself and I’m proud of it.”
