Fall Semester 2025:

Please join the Indigenous Student Resource Centre, Student Life, and First Light St. John's Friendship Centre to welcome back the Memorial Community to campus for the fall semester. This is also a great time to meet new friends, re-connect with each other and to share good food, song and great conversations! The Fall Tent Gathering will be taking place on Friday, Sept. 12, 2025 from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. on the grounds of Juniper House at 208 Elizabeth Avenue. 

For more information and to register, please email: isrc@mun.ca.

The Tent Gathering is an Indigenous way to bring together the Memorial University community and welcome new students during Welcome Week. The event creates a safe and welcoming space on the St. John’s campus for Indigenous and non-Indigenous students, faculty, and staff to come together and celebrate the rich and diverse Indigenous cultures in the province of Newfoundland & Labrador, and across Canada.

The Tent Gathering is held at Juniper House (208 Elizabeth Avenue) on the St. John’s Campus at the beginning of the fall and winter semesters, and they are hosted in partnership with the First Light Friendship Centre and Student Life.

Everyone is welcome to drop by to meet and talk with Elders and Knowledge Keepers, share stories and food, and participate in activities such as drumming at throat singing.
