National Native American Heritage Month

I believe that Notre Dame De Namur University should commemorate November as National Native American Heritage Month because the values proclaimed in the universities constitution strongly emphasizes diversity, culture, and education. For example, hallmark five focuses on embracing the gift of diversity, “ we welcome to our community people of diverse cultures, ethnicity, race, socio-economic circumstances, gender, age, sexual orientation and faith traditions. We develop educational programs which expand out knowledge and understanding of the diversity in our world community and which celebrate the richness of that heritage. In addition, hallmark seven stating that we develop holistic learning communicates which educate for life, “we create curricular/co-curricular interactions that facilitate student-centered learning/teaching environments”. The things done on campus may enhance others knowledge about the history if Native Americans. The sisters of NDNU view education as an experience that will not only prepare you inside the classroom but in life. An experience that can be taken outside of a classroom and applying it to everyday life. Also, hallmark three states that we educate for and act on behalf of justice and peace in the world. Education has a purpose not only to get a job but also to accomplish a mission in life.
