For those of you who couldn't make it to this week's lunch, We heard from 5 great speakers.  The President of the University of Toronto , Professor ULLI KRULL, Executive Director of Strategy for UTM SUSAN SENESE, Assistant Professor SHERRY FUKUZAWA of Anthropology. 

They spoke about indigenous students and how the University has recognized that they haven't incorporated a program that honours Indigenous Students. They explained how they are now making a difference by changing the way they speak with Indigenous staff and students. Not at them or To them by with them to make a difference by building a relationship.   Two students spoke about their experiences growing up indigenous and how their future is completely different to that of their ancestors by not turning their cultural heritage off but rather renewing their cultural languages and traditions.  Studying how we can incorporate this back into their communities.
