About Us
Our Mission
The office of Native American Student Services (NASS) was established in 1978. Our mission is to ensure a successful educational experience for Native American students by providing advocacy and support services. The four primary advocacy and service areas include recruitment, retention, graduation and community outreach. The office embraces and encourages a supportive environment based on the traditions and cultures of Native American peoples.
We are here to...
- Assist in your personal, social and academic growth by empowering you with the skill and strategies that will ensure a successful transition from your traditional home culture to university life.
- Help you make a positive transition to college life while maintaining the best of your native culture by emphasizing harmony and balance in your daily life.
- Educate the University and Fort Collins communities about Native American history, culture and philosophies, and about the unique needs of Native American students.
- Recruit Native American students through professional and personal contacts with Native American reservation schools and other communities with large Native American populations.
- Serve as an advocate on your behalf during your time at Colorado State University.
