Calendar

  • ENJOY – EDUCATE - EMPOWER 

    In celebration of the histories and contributions of historically marginalized people, the ÂãÁÄÖ±²¥ commemorates heritage months and identity acknowledgements throughout the year.

    These recognitions are an opportunity for all members of the community to learn more about the traditions, people, history and current experiences of those who have overcome oppression to create opportunities for all.

    It is important to note that the celebration of each cultural identity included in the calendar is not time-limited and this calendar is a helpful tool to ensure we're inclusive of all members of our community.
