Native American Student Services at the University of Arkansas NASS offers a wide array of services tailored to meet the unique needs of Indigenous students. From academic advising to cultural programming, the department strives to ensure that every student receives the support they need to thrive academically, personally, and culturally. Whether it's connecting students with scholarship opportunities, providing mentorship, or organizing cultural events, NASS is committed to enhancing the university experience for Indigenous students.

One of the key initiatives of NASS is its commitment to preserving and celebrating Native American culture. Through events such guest lectures, and workshops, students have the opportunity to engage with and learn from their cultural heritage. These events not only enrich the campus community but also provide a platform for Indigenous voices to be heard and celebrated. Another fantastic initiative is the creation of the Native American Leadership Council. Through partnership with NASS and the School of Art, the NALC will serve as a cornerstone in providing guidance, support, and advocacy for Indigenous students and the University.

Moreover, NASS serves as an advocate for Indigenous students, ensuring that their voices are represented, and their needs are addressed within the university community. By fostering partnerships with other campus organizations. NASS works to create a more equitable and supportive environment for all students.

In addition to its on-campus initiatives, NASS also plays a vital role in connecting Indigenous students with resources and opportunities beyond the university. Through partnerships with tribal organizations, and community groups. NASS helps students build networks and access support systems that extend far beyond the university campus.
