As the academic year draws to a close, the Indigenous Employees and Colleagues Resource Group (IERCG) invites faculty, staff and supporters to join them in celebration and community-building at their End-of-Semester Luncheon from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Friday, May 2, hosted at Ella's Table in the historic Inn at Carnall Hall.

The IERCG is an employee-led group that exists to support and uplift Indigenous voices across campus. By offering spaces for shared reflection, storytelling and peer support, the group plays a vital role in affirming Indigenous presence and contributions within the university. It also provides professional networking opportunities and cultural programming that center Indigenous worldviews and lived experiences.

This luncheon, held in the spirit of kinship and care, is an opportunity to reconnect, recharge and recognize the collective work of the semester.

The IERCG welcomes all colleagues and campus partners who wish to engage in a supportive, inclusive community.

Seating is limited, and those interested are encouraged to RSVP early!
