Circle Program Monthly Smudge
Hí?ha?ni wašté – It’s a good day! We warmly invite you to join the NSU Circle Program as a campus community for our monthly smudging, 12:15-12:30 PM in The Circle Program room (MJ112) and Technology Center Courtyard.
Smudging is a sacred tradition involving the burning of sacred plants. It’s a way to cleanse, reflect, begin anew, and gather in a good way—as we begin a fresh start to the month.
Participating in or witnessing this practice is a meaningful way to show respect for Indigenous cultures and build community together. Please contact Lara.Nelson@northern.edu for additional information.
All are welcome. We hope to see you there.

Functions of SGA include overseeing the creation and recognition of all organizations, delegating General Activity Fee fund allocation on campus every spring, representing NSU at South Dakota Student Federation meetings, and serving as the bridge between the student body and the South Dakota regental system.

For more information, stop by their office in the Hub on the second level of Avera Student Center, or visit their social media.
