American Indian Student Services

American Indian Student Services (AISS) hopes to make a big campus seem small by creating a one-on-one approach to student needs and by helping to build community and leadership. AISS offers funding and leadership opportunities to students interested in working with native students, and AISS creates programming that is directly a result of what AISS students say they want to see.
