NATIVE AMERICAN RECRUITMENT
Enrollment of Native Americans at UWSP has averaged between 50 - 70 students in recent years (includes full-time, part-time, graduate and undergraduate). In recent years, pthe NAC has worked cooperatively with the UW-SP Admissions Office to contribute to the recruitment process. In an effort to increase aplications submitted by potential Native American students, NAC staff periodically visit selected high schools, tribal colleges, and technical schools throughout the state that are adjacent to Native American communities and have significant Native American populations. NATIVE AMERICAN STUDENT RETENTION Once a Native American student is admitted to UWSP, the NAC offers a variety of supportive services to them. The NAC seeks to assist Native American students with the transition to college and community life. As part of a retention initiative targeted at Native American students, the NAC strives to make personal connections with Native American students, continuously seeking ways to improve short and long term student success. In addition, NAC personnel serve important roles as academic staff advisors to Native American student organizations at UWSP. |
