INTERTRIBAL RESOURCE CENTER

We are focused on supporting Native American students and promoting educational access in our tribal communities. We look forward to meeting you and welcoming you in to our campus community. This is an exciting time for the ITRC! Students, staff and faculty have long advocated for the creation of a Campus Community Center that is focused on Native American students and communities. With the hiring of the inaugural Director in 2016, the ITRC is primed to initiate all new programming for current and prospective students; as well as building partnerships with local Native communities and education programs.
