Today, on Indigenous Peoples’ Day, we honor the histories, cultures, knowledge, sovereignty, and ongoing contributions of Indigenous peoples.

At Lurie College, we recognize the responsibility to listen, learn, and build relationships grounded in respect, reciprocity, and care. May this day be an opportunity to reflect on the histories that shape our communities, uplift Indigenous voices and leadership, and recommit to creating more just, inclusive, and connected futures through education, counseling, therapy, and community leadership.
