November 2023
November is American Indian Heritage Month. Explore campus resources for indigenous students, staff and faculty.
A couple of things on our radar this month:

Celebrating: the 2023-2024 Women's Center award and grant recipients. Head over to Instagram to see our profiles of the winners (we'll be sharing through the month of November), or view the full list here.

Sharing: this Basic Needs document, curated by our colleagues in the Multicultural Center for Academic Excellence; it includes resources related to food, funding, wellness, hygiene, and more!

As always, you can always catch up with us on Instagram and Twitter / X (@mnwomenscenter) in between newsletter editions.
