[From the Memorial Gazette]

Memorial University students, staff, and faculty are encouraged to attend the second annual Forum on Indigenization and Reconciliation at Memorial (FIRM), taking place from Friday, Nov. 15, to Wednesday, Nov. 20.

Expanded from the first virtual FIRM event in November 2023, this year the program includes in-person days at Signal Hill Campus, Grenfell Campus and Labrador Campus, which are also accessible virtually. Similar to last year, all sessions will be recorded and available to participants for future viewing on the FIRM Brightspace site.
