ʔə́y̓ sweyəl KPU Community,
KPU Library Richmond Campus is pleased to invite you to the launch of the χʷəχʷéy̓əm Indigenous Collection Wednesday, January 11 from 12 – 1pm. We are very pleased to expand this collection from Surrey to all campus libraries in 2023!
Once again, Elder-in-Residence Lekeyten from Kwantlen First Nation will open the space in a good way. We are pleased to have KPU’s AVP Indigenous Leadership, Innovations, and Partnerships, Gayle Bedard join us to speak to how spaces like χʷəχʷéy̓əm contribute to the broader changes across KPU. Designer, graduate from Wilson School of Design, and current Coordinator of Indigenous Student Transitions and Engagement with Indigenous Services for Students, Jennifer Lamont will speak to her work in the space. Lastly, Indigenous Engagement and Subject Liaison Librarian Rachel Chong will share the process of expanding χʷəχʷéy̓əm.
We hope you will join us in the New Year to celebrate this new space at the Richmond Campus Library.

Rachel
