Dear Colleagues,
We would like to remind you that Indigenous Awareness Week is March 2-6th this year. The University has a large number of exciting events planned, and the list can be found here: IAW Events
This year takes on particular importance in the aftermath of the uninvited disruption on our campus earlier in February, but there is also much to celebrate. It is an opportunity to acknowledge the transformational contributions of Dr. Leroy Little Bear as he wraps up his tenure as the University’s first Vice-Provost of Iniskim Indigenous Relations. The Indigenous Studies Department is also celebrating its 50th Anniversary and has been and will continue to host events throughout the spring. We hope you can attend many of the events hosted for Indigenous Awareness Week as well as support those organized by the Indigenous Studies Department in the weeks to come.
The GEDC
