Community, Ceremony, and Action
Members of ISA meet weekly to socialize, work on projects, discuss important issues, plan events, collaborate with other clubs, and participate in community outreach. Each fall, we kick off the school year with a "Fry Bread Social," and every May we celebrate the end of the academic year with a "Story and Drum Ceremony." All students are invited to attend.
Membership
Membership in ISA is open to any student, staff, and faculty of Â鶹ӰÊÓ regardless of race, ethnicity, or heritage. To become a member, email indigenousstudentalliance@groups.pacificu.edu.
