Taylor Galvin has had to overcome many obstacles during her six years studying environmental studies at the University of Manitoba, but she celebrated part of the journey with more than 150 local alumni on Saturday.

“I feel over the moon. I've been a student for a long time and it's really exciting to be a part of graduation today,” Galvin told CBC News.

The Anishinabekwe graduate of Brokenhead Ojibway First Nation is among 478 Indigenous students graduating from U of M programs this season. The university celebrated those graduates Saturday at its 35th annual graduation ceremony.
