From July 12-18, 2020, the UI Division of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion will host Native American high school students from around the country for the Iowa First Nations Summer Program.

This program provides Native American students the opportunity to live on campus and experience the university setting, explore majors, and gain an appreciation for the variety of opportunities on the UI campus and higher education in general.

Participants will attend structured classroom seminars and field trips to various campus departments, enjoy hands-on classroom experiences, and have the opportunity to get involved in social and recreational activities on campus and in the community.

The program is seeking Experiential Learning Session proposals, and CLAS faculty and staff from any department are encouraged to submit.

Proposals may be submitted via this link: https://uiowa.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_3D9GkjlvXSIR09v. The deadline for proposals is May 25.

Questions may be directed to Carlos Nelson (carlos-nelson@uiowa.edu) or Blanca Ramirez (blanca-ramirezchavez@uiowa.edu) of the Division of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion.
