May 2022
Greetings to all
As we wind down this school year and look toward summer break, always remember that Native American Student Services is proud of all our students. And a special congratulation goes to those seniors who will graduate this year! My grandfather always told me to do my best at whatever I choose to do because even though our numbers might be small, we individually represent our entire Native people. So always do your best!
