Welcome, Jasmin Glaw

January 08, 2026

Jasmin Glaw joins the Faculty of Education as our new Manager in the Office of Indigenous Education. To get to know Jasmin a little better, we sat down with her for a short Q&A about her journey, her interests, and what she’s most looking forward to in this new role.

"Kwey! My name is Jasmin Glaw (she | her | ikwe), I am an Omamiwinini Anishinaabe ikwe of the Algonquins of Pikwakanagan First Nation and also of German descent. My educational background is in Journalism, French and Spanish. Much of my professional experience is rooted in the non-profit sector, education and post-secondary student support. I am passionate about supporting Indigenous students, colleagues and relations in their professional and personal journeys. I bring an attentive ear, creative and critical thinking, as well as a perspective that reflects our practice of two-eyed seeing.

Please do chat with me about beading and other crafts, travel and baking. And, please do share with me things that you are excited about!"

What are you most excited about as you join the Faculty of Education?

As I join the Faculty of Education I’m looking forward to learning from others, upholding the mandate of the Office of Indigenous Education (OIE) and celebrating the work facilitated by IERC and the OIE, as well has exercising my brain in a new way post-parental leave.

Please share a little about your journey – what experiences or moments most shaped your path to this role?

In many of my previous roles (prior to joining SFU), I found myself in environments that bridged me into education and outcome-based learning (reflect, connect, apply, if you will). Be it the coordination of staff professional development, program development and workshop facilitation, building relationships at various Indigenous education conferences – I’ve had the pleasure of being in and around educational spaces for a long time. Instances where I felt the most energized and in-tune have been while working in support of educators and youth mentors. So, I think being part of those communities and my interest in the Indigenization of education and ways of knowing quietly guided me here.

You’ve invited us to talk with you about beading, travel, and baking—are there particular practices or places that help ground you?

Yes and no because I thrive in organized chaos. But I would say going for walks, spending time with my husband and daughter and enjoying a fancy coffee are methods of grounding for me.

Is there anything else you would like to add?
