Barbara Venne a University of Saskatchewan student has gained herself a reputation and although she never sought it out, she is embracing it.
“We have this running joke that they all call me ‘auntie’,” laughs Venne. “I’m an older student and have lived like six different lives, so I try to bring that experience and knowledge to support (other students).”
Venne, a member of Muskeg Lake Cree Nation, is a fourth-year student at the Edwards School of Business at the University of Saskatchewan (U of S), majoring in Supply Chain Management.
She is also the newest recipient of the Leadership Award during Indigenous Achievement Week.
