Name Change Discussion
The last NASU leadership team in 2018-2019 proposed a name change for the organization. However, it did not come into fruition the following year (2019-2020). With a different cabinet and student body, we want to check in again. Are students, staff and faculty interested in changing the name? Some of the options include: Indigenous Native Student Union (INSU), Native American Indigenous Student Union (NAISU), Indigenous Peoples Student Union (IPSU). We are open to suggestions!
Instead of our regular meetings, cabinet will be hosting hour-long discussions to listen to different perspectives and reach consensus. In order to accomodate varying schedules, we will be hosting a series of discussions throughout two weeks. Please be aware that Zoom discussions will be recorded. Only public discussions will be published to the website in case members cannot attend all discussions. We have scheduled the following:
- Tues. February 9th 2-3pm (Private, by invitation only)
- Thurs. February 11th 12:15-1:15pm (Open to the public)
Topic: Discussion 2
