In 2005, the [University of Victoria] began a four-year pilot project aimed at improving aboriginal outcomes. It was hoped the program would entice more to finish their degrees and even go on to graduate school. The endeavour was dubbed Le,Nonet, a Coast Salish term for “success after many hardships.” Graduation rates among those in the program improved by 20 per cent… 73 per cent of the participants said the program helped them become a more integral part of the campus and gave them a better chance of succeeding.
