Awards and Recognition

At the end of May, the Native American Program hosts a Native and Indigenous Community Awards Ceremony. Awards are presented by the Department of Native American and Indigenous Studies, Native American Council, Indigenous Peer Mentor Program, and Native and Indigenous student groups. 

Every spring, the Native American Program invites family, friends, faculty, and staff to celebrate the Commencement with a Blanketing Ceremony. This celebration and gesture recognizes the unique and challenging journey of each student on their path to graduation.
