EPP DEI Committee Celebrates Indigenous Peoples’ Day
October 11th is a day to honor and celebrate Indigenous people, often referred to as the first people or Native people of the world. According to the UN, there are more than 370 million Indigenous individuals residing in 70 countries worldwide, their rich diversity and unique traditions. These communities maintain social, cultural, economic, and political characteristics that set them apart from dominant societies. Recognizing the importance of acknowledging and appreciating Indigenous cultures, Entomology and Plant Pathology’s Diversity and Inclusion committee is proud to announce a month-long celebration of Indigenous People’s Day. For a comprehensive schedule of activities, please refer to our calendar.
