What is Orange Shirt Day?

Join Intercultural Specialist, Melissa Beard Jacob, for a presentation surrounding Orange Shirt Day and its history and significance to Native American and Indigenous communities and the impacts of boarding/residential school experiences. 

 
The Ohio State Community will be observing Orange Shirt Day on Thursday, September 30. Please remember to wear your orange! Participants who attend this information session will have an opportunity to stop by the Student Life Multicultural Center and receive an official Native OSU Orange Shirt Day t-shirt. 
 
If you require an accommodation such as live captioning or interpretation to participate in this event, please contact Madison Eagle at eagle.41@osu.edu. Requests made two weeks in advance will generally allow us to provide seamless access, but the university will make every effort to meet requests made after this date.
