Joanne Goodpipe is an Assistant Professor of Business in the Department of Indigenous Science, The Environment, and Economic Development at First Nations University of Canada, Regina Campus. Goodpipe teaches a five-course certificate program which deals with: hospitality, tourism, and entertainment management; marketing; human resources; commercial gaming; and strategic management. These courses are designed with Indigenous content, examples, and case studies, which are available to both industry and university students who, she hopes, will become proud Indigenous leaders and managers in First Nations gaming. Full classes are indicators of success and Goodpipe believes that offering this program helps to build stronger communities.
