All University staff and students are invited to join this year's in person event for Black History Month - Saluting our Sisters. The purpose of the event is to share inspiring stories from our guest speakers and to celebrate the achievements of our black sisters. Over the years, many of our black sisters at the University have been represented in the media, through businesses and as recognition of their hard work. This event will be hosted by the University's Global Majority Staff Network Officers.
