Organizations provide students with an avenue to accelerate development.
Through organizations we encourage a living environment that is conductive to studying, learning, critical thinking and a more unified and open minded community . It is a nationally recognized Native American Organization that encourages Native Americans to pursue careers in science, engineering, and other technical fields. UMR officially has about two dozen Native American students on campus. However, there are also many students on campus who know that they have Native American ancestors but do not identify themselves as Native American on official forms. There are very few cultural activities in this area related to Native American culture.
