American Indian Heritage Month (AIHM) recognizes contemporary American Indian tribes and individuals as active participants in American society and honors their histories, cultures and achievements.  November marks a time to note the existence of Indian tribes and reflect on their significance in American history and contributions to American culture. The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill celebrates AIHM with a calendar filled with programs, tours, workshops, and performing arts events focused on American Indian traditions, culture and current issues. 

The University Office for Diversity and Inclusion invites you to a breakfast and fellowship in conjunction with American Indian Heritage Month. The breakfast will take place on Thursday, November 15, 2018, from 9:00am – 10:30 a.m. in the Frank Porter Graham Student Union, Room 3201.

This event will provide a space for faculty and staff from across our campus to network in celebration of American Indian Heritage Month. Additionally, you will have the opportunity to interact with colleagues from our office as well as those across campus whose work touches American Indian communities and Tribal Nations. 

We are excited to host this event and are looking forward to it becoming an annual tradition. If you are able to attend and be part of this fellowship, please RSVP by completing this registration by Monday, November 9, 2018.

If you have a peer or graduate student who may be interested and would benefit from the event, please feel free to forward this invitation to them. Please contact the University Office for Diversity and Inclusion at diversity@unc.edu if you have any questions.

The University Office for Diversity and Inclusion builds understanding across differences, creates conditions to ensure the equitable educational and social benefits of diversity, and cultivates a welcoming and supportive environment for undergraduate students, graduate and professional students, faculty, and staff by positioning them to reach their greatest potential.
