All of us at the Office of Indigenous Initiatives are so proud of Cheriian Pearson! 😊 So many students, staff, and faculty have had the privilege of learning from Cheriian and her impact will continue to be felt as we carry forward the meaningful work she began in the Medicine Garden! 🌿

Still undecided about what to do this fall?

Not sure which program is the right fit for you? Ask us about the Indigenous Foundations Program! We're still accepting applications for the 2026-2027 academic year, and we'd love to help you explore whether IFP is the right path for your goals.
