Kevin Chief
Coordinator, UWinnipeg's Innovative Learning Centre
Kevin Chief is coordinating The University of Winnipeg's new Innovative Learning Centre programming. Mr. Chief is a graduate of The University of Winnipeg and an active member of Winnipeg’s Aboriginal community who has a proven track record of success within the school system and throughout Winnipeg’s inner city.
He has worked extensively within the public school system and the non-profit sector for a number of years. The emphasis of his work has been to create, develop, and implement programs, initiatives, and opportunities for children/youth/students to develop their potential, increase academic achievement, and inspire a desire to learn.
The work Mr. Chief has done with The Winnipeg Aboriginal Sport Achievement Center and school divisions has provided him with the opportunity to develop a concept of a shared vision in which children, youth and families connect with communities and schools to achieve academic success.
