Indigenous Faculty and Staff Association

Mission Statement

The vision of the Indigenous Faculty and Staff Association is to cultivate a campus community where Indigenous and non-Indigenous members of the CSUB community can come together in fellowship to support, share, and embrace our cultural heritages, and spread awareness of Indigenous culture and worldviews through thoughtful discussion and educational events.
