Five outstanding Wells students attended the Rutgers University Cultural Conference in October, and they have prepared a series of hour-long presentations about their overall experience as well as information that they would like to share with our campus community. Also, members of the Mohawk Nation will discuss current movements taking place across Indigenous nations and universities, reflect on personal experiences for a call-to-action as Indigenous students, and present efforts to work collectively with Indigenous peoples to bring real solutions to their campus and society.
