Featured Speakers
The First Annual TCU Symposium of Climate Change and Children’s Health will bring together tribal colleges and universities (TCUs) and larger public and private universities to share research, education programs and work on the most pressing environmental issue facing our Mother Earth—global climate change. Held in conjunction with this symposium, The Health and Medicine Career Fair will connect TCU students with R1 research universities—such as UCLA, Harvard and Kansas University—so they may learn about each other and find creative ways of working together.
On Thursday Nov. 14, 2024, Haskell Indian Nations University’s Rising Voices Changing Coast Convergence Science Hub will convene the first TCU Symposium on Climate Change and Children’s Health in the historic Haskell auditorium. The Symposium will bring together researchers, faculty, and students from R1 institutions and TCUs to share their work in children’s health and climate change. Through this convening, we hope to foster a new level of respect between R1 institutions and TCUs and advance a better understanding of how critical interdisciplinary approaches are to successfully addressing global climate change.
On Nov. 13th from 10 am to 2pm in the Stidham Student Union, Haskell will host a Health and Medicine Career Fair. This event will bring tribal colleges and universities (TCUs) and larger public and private universities together to share research, education programs, and explore opportunities for TCU students to work on the most pressing environmental issue facing our Mother Earth – global climate change. Invited medical schools, public health programs, and related environmental health programs will share education and career opportunities.
Invited universities include UCLA, Harvard, Kansas University, University of Oklahoma, Creighton, University of New Mexico, University of Washington, University of Minnesota, North Dakota University and a host of schools with a demonstrated commitment to serving American Indian and Alaska Native students and their Nations.
