It's Indigenous Peoples' Day, and the Community College of Baltimore County is proud to celebrate. "Indigenous Peoples Day honors the resilience, sovereignty and enduring contributions of Indigenous peoples throughout the United States," writes CCBC President Dr. Sandra Kurtinitis in her latest blog post. "For community colleges, Indigenous Peoples' Day carries particular significance. Our institutions are built upon the belief that education should be accessible to all and that every individual deserves to be welcomed, respected and valued. The day reminds us of the importance of creating communities grounded in dignity, understanding and belonging." Read more on the blog.
