Hi Everyone,

I sent the following email out to SNRE this morning. I thought I would share with you in case there is anything here you may want to share with your departments or be interested in personally.

Take care!

Hi Everyone,

I regret that I have let two very important events slip by without proper recognition while they were happening.  As a department seated in the traditional homelands of the Tohono O’odham with rich Latinx and Indigenous culture, it is important to recognize and celebrate this diversity throughout the year. On behalf of the SNRE Inclusive Excellence Committee, I wanted to share a few resources that might be of interest to you, including family activities happening now as part of Tucson Meet Yourself, reading resources, presentations, and new music to explore.
