The Native American Student Association at Notre Dame (NA- SAND) exists to donate its support for Native Ameri- can students on campus. The Association presents itself to students who not only seek academic sup- port, but social support as well. For the past few years, NASAND ' s mission as a student organization on campus focused on their academic goals and ca- reer intents.

NASAND hopes its pres- ence on campus will pro- vide support for Native American students, but also aspires to reach out to the campus and neighbor- ing community.
