CDI Native American Heritage Month Tabling Event
November 1 | 11:00-1:00pm | GSC 1st Floor
Join the CDI team at an informational tabling event in GSC.   Check-in to the event to be entered into a raffle to receive a t-shirt or Native authored book. This year’s shirt give away will be an Orange shirt that is a symbol of “National Truth and Reconciliation day”.

Though originally started in Canada National day of Truth and Reconciliation or Orange shirt is observed in the United States as well as has begun to gain global recognition.
