The Multicultural Center, 1st Floor
November is Native American Heritage Month, a time to honor the traditions and communities of Native American and Indigenous folks. This Wednesday, students can join the Multicultural Student Affairs office in learning and partaking in the tradition of Smudging, the practice of burning sage and/or other medicines for cleansing, purifying and healing purposes. This tradition will happen every Wednesday of November, and is just one of the many parts of MSA’s 30 Days of Indigenous.

The Multicultural Center
Looking for an informal way to try out counseling? This Wednesday, Multicultural Student Affairs (MSA) is offering free counseling for students who may not have a formal therapist but are interested in professional help. The Let’s Talk program is on a first-come, first-serve basis, and it’s open to any Northwestern student. This isn’t a one-time thing either; it will continue every weekend in the MSA Center! Appointments aren’t necessary, and you don’t have to be on Northwestern’s insurance for a conversation. For more information, check out the Let’s Talk website.

The Multicultural Center
The First Year Follow Up program is geared toward first year students and works to answer their lingering questions, connect them to resources and help them meet new people as they navigate Northwestern. While this program is geared toward first year students, upper-class students are also encouraged to attend and share their experiences with first year students. Please feel free to contact Alyscia Raines at alyscia.raines@northwestern.
