Sharing our gratitude today for Prof. Liz Gilbert in the Colorado School of Public Health who gifted this gorgeous weaving to Native American Student Services š
For years, Prof. Gilbert was integral to planning visits to UNC for high school students from Navajo Nation and visits of UNC students to Navajo Nation during spring breaks. She received the weaving from Alta Mitchell (Navajo) in 2011 and it hung outside her office in Gunter Hall. As she prepares for retirement, she is passing the weaving to NASS and it will continue to greet students in the front room of the Kohl House.
This was woven by Clarissa Tsosie (Navajo), a US Army veteran who works at Wingate High School in Fort Wingate, NM.
Prof. Gilbert has also gifted a number of books for NASSās little free library! Please stop by Kohl House to browse the selection or take a look during our Indigenous Peoplesā Day Read-a-thon coming up.
