September 30th is National Day for Truth and Reconciliation.

The Program’s department emphasizes building a stronger community on campus. We promote a healthy campus culture that educates, motivates, and empowers students to create community and sustain positive change personally, locally, and globally.

Taking part in educating ourselves during National Day for Truth and Reconciliation allows us to recognize the importance and impact of this day. As well as allowing us to heal together. Below are events and initiatives going around our community that you might be interested in:
