Days of Significance
Days and months of significance are a way to raise awareness and action about historical, cultural and equitable practices that will help create a more inclusive and just society. Over the past few years, days of significance are increasingly being shared across social media platforms as a way for organizations to connect with their communities and share their values and priorities.
The following list is a resource for the ¶¡ÏãÔ°AV community and has been sourced from current and previous events as well as operational activities at the university, federal government important and commemorative events and international days and weeks currently observed by the United Nations.
