Northwestern faculty to speak at TEDxChicago
August 19, 2024
We hope you’re having a fabulous first few weeks of fall quarter. The calendar is full of things to do, and we’ve picked out some highlights for you.
Join the journey
Learn how you can be a part of the Jiimaan Journey, the Native American and Indigenous Strategic Plan, at the fall kickoff event. Attendees can visit stations with interactive activities, reflection prompts, giveaways and additional resources.
The kickoff is at 5:30 p.m. on Wednesday, Oct. 2, at the Segal Visitors Center, 1841 Sheridan Road, Evanston.
Let’s go ’Cats
Cheer on field hockey as the team looks to extend their 10-game victory streak with their match versus Rutgers this Friday.
The game is at 3 p.m. on Friday, Oct. 4, at Lakeside Field, 2311 N. Campus Drive

Tales of tradition
New York City has always been a gathering and trading place for many Indigenous peoples. In “Tipi Tales from the Stoop,” Murielle Borst-Tarrant tells the story of growing up in the only Native family on her block in a mafia-run Brooklyn neighborhood and how her family kept tradition alive.
Performances of “Tipi Tales from the Stoop” are on Friday, Oct. 4, at 7:30 p.m. and Saturday, Oct. 5 at 2 p.m. at Wirtz Theater in Abbott Hall, 710 N. Lake Shore Drive, Chicago. Buy tickets here.
