Cultural and Heritage Months
OISA will celebrate the recognized awareness months and week(s) for the NPU community below. Cultural and heritage months educate and raise understanding regarding the heritage and history of cultures, groups, or causes. These are not trivialized recognitions, but intentional intercultural celebrations which reflect the NPU diverse student body.
OISA and cultural organizations will provide programming, commentary, and resources to promote these selected intercultural observances and commemorative months/weeks. We hope you join us.
