DIVERSITY RESOURCES FOR NATIVE AMERICAN STUDENTS

Internships | Permanent Recruitment and Networking

The goal of this collection of resources is to provide Native American students with information and guidance that speaks to the unique needs and issues that come with being a Native American student in a search for temporary as well as permanent career opportunities. Students should examine the other diversity sections if they share one or more characteristics with the other targeted populations.

Students should utilize these resources in conjunction with those outlined in the undergraduate index that deal with career exploration, internships, permanent positions, job search skills development, networking, and the information resources that impact all these areas.

Counselors at the Center for Career Services are available for discussions on how these resources can be used effectively.

Suggestions for additional resources should be emailed to Chuck Reutlinger.
