American Indians are the largest ethnic minority in North Dakota and an average of 350 are enrolled at UND per semester. With more than 75 supportive programs and initiatives, UND provides one of the largest variety of opportunities for American Indian students in the United States and is fast becoming a national leader in Indian education. For the students, Native American Programs is where they go when they have problems or concerns. Here, they can get housing assistance, financial aid guidance, academic advice, and technological and tutorial support. Director Leigh Jeanotte credits the program's success to its holistic approach.
Students can get help for any segment of campus life.
Students can come here and we will help with any issue they have. Alumni and students say it is the support network that most defines the program. It felt like a second home. Here is where American Indian students can come together. They always have someone to talk with and they have an opportunity to meet other American Indian students.
