LE,NONET Program
LE,NONET ("le-nong-it") is a SENĆOŦEN word that literally means "paddling a canoe in a storm and making it through to the other side".
In a more figurative sense, LE,NONET can also mean "success after enduring many hardships."
The LE,NONET Community Internship (IS 321) is 120 hours of work experience carried out in an Indigenous community or organization of the student's choice. Students must complete the IS 310 Preparation Seminar pre-requisite with a B+ (77%) or higher to register for this.
