Intertribal Higher Education Program
The mission of the Intertribal Higher Education Program is to assist Native American students to obtain a university education by providing recruitment and retention services and activities that promote academic success and graduation from the University of Nevada, Reno
Programs
- Early outreach to middle and high school students
- Spring Pow wow
- Indian Education Summit
- Nike N7
- College Life 101 Retention Program
Services
- Focused study environment
- Advisement and referral for academics, leadership training, financial assistance and personal support
- Direction toward scholarships available to Native American UNR students (It is of the utmost importance that Native students come into The Center and meet with a coordinator to verify member status of a federally recognized tribe)
- Assist students with the process of enrollment
Native American Student Organization (NASO)
The Native American Student Organization is comprised of Native and non-Native University of Nevada, Reno Students. The purpose of the organization is to bring Native and Non-native students together to learn about each other's cultures. As the UNR Pow wow grows as one of the premiere cultural events in Northern Nevada, The Center for Student Cultural Diversity seeks assistance from student groups dedicated to its planning and coordination. Any UNR student who would like to commit to the planning and implementation of the pow wow should contact the Native American Student Organization.
