Aaron Pete: Bigger Than Me
Meet Aaron Pete, UFV Alumni
Aaron Pete is a member of Chawathil First Nation within the Stó:lō Territory. Aaron started from humble beginnings in Downtown Chilliwack, British Columbia. Aaron was raised by an Indigenous single mother who was born with a disability, where they lived on social assistance in a household with food insecurity.
Aaron's mother relied on community resources while Aaron was growing up, which gave him a deep understanding of the value of community. In 2017, he graduated from the University of the Fraser Valley with a Criminology Degree and had a goal to pursue law school.
Today, Aaron Pete is the host of the Bigger Than Me Podcast, a graduate of Peter A. Allard School of Law, and a Business Recovery Advisor. Aaron also sits on the Board of Directors with the Chilliwack Cultural Centre and the Chawathil Economic Development Committee.
In addition, Aaron also provides presentations on Indigenous Cultural Awareness, where he aims to bridge the divides and make learning about Indigenous topics accessible.

Navigating Through Hard Times in Our Lives
Last two years we have seen the world go from one crisis to another. Global pandemic, floods, forest fires, economic uncertainty. Whether the source of difficulty in your life is a social problem or a personal one, going through difficult times can really take a toll on both our physical and mental health.
Do You Know Your Rights?
Unfortunately, student rights aren't always as understood by students as they should be or articulated by other university community members transparently and openly.
This leads to confusion about how best to navigate the complex structures of post-secondary education and often ends with feelings of disappointment and powerlessness for students unfamiliar with the language used in policy and procedures.
Throughout online learning, it quickly became apparent that many students did not know where to submit complaints and grievances that occurred during their academic semesters or if what they were experiencing was wrong or unfair.
That's why we created the Know Your Rights initiative: a SUS-compiled collection of all the relevant policies to students' day-to-day academic activities, as well as the procedures for navigating things like academic misconduct accusations, formal grade appeals, experiences with discrimination, bullying & harassment, and sexualized violence.
We hope that this student-friendly walkthrough will make understanding UFV policies and procedures less challenging, as well as easier to Know Your Rights!
