After a two-game sweep in the Beaver state, the No. 6 Cal is off to a red-hot start. In a flash, the team moved up eight spots in the national rankings from 14th to 6th place over the span of a weekend.
“To come out in our first two opening games and get two wins is super exciting,” said the Bears’ tri-captain forward Emma Westin. “It gives us a lot of confidence going into these next two games.”
Next up for Cal is Colorado and Utah on Friday and Sunday, respectively. Both matches will be held at Witter Rugby Field in Berkeley and kick off at 3 p.m. PST.
Confederation College continues to work on advancing its five year strategic plan.
Indigenous Learning was identified as a top priority.
President Kathleen Lynch says they have worked really hard to address systemic racism in the college.
“This is facilitated through education and we have a Negahneewin education strategy that has been created both for staff and students to help us do this.”
Lynch says they had mandatory staff training on Indigenous culture and history and had nearly 100% compliance.
She notes the work also involves updating all of their policies and procedures to reflect First Nations culture and beliefs.
Lynch adds part of their plan includes expanding Indigenous programming.
