ABOUT
Join us in a celebration of Indigenous Creativity and Resilience!
The AIHEC Indigenous Design Collective (IDC) invites all TCU students, faculty and staff to join us this November at Indigeverse – a celebration of Indigenous creativity, innovation and ingenuity spanning the sciences, humanities and the arts. Indigeverse will be an online showcase of art, writing, research, and scholarship in which all TCU students are invited to share their thoughts, ideas and work in all of the areas that matter to all of us. This will be an excellent opportunity to share, discuss and plan new ways to envision and work together to build an Indigenous Future.
