Intertribal Student Council members meet twice each month. Typically, the group has members representing at least six Indian nations. Promoting understanding of local and national issues affecting Native American peoples and appreciation of Native culture are among the group’s goals. The spring pow-wow has become one of the largest annual events on campus. Last year, dancers and drums attended from the entire state, and over 1,200 people attended.


Organizacion Latino Americana is especially dedicated to serving students who are of Hispanic origin or who are majoring or minoring in Spanish. Events include dance and musical performances, lectures, art exhibits, and special programs in observance of holidays such as Cinco de Mayo.

SASU is one of the fastest growing student organizations on campus. SASU sponsors Southeast Asian week events each January, and other activities such as story telling, dances, and workshops about the Hmong culture. A statewide conference sponsored by SASU last spring on the topic of Southeast Asians and education attracted more than 200 students, parents, educators and community leaders to the campus.
