How Is The School Involved With The Local Native Community?
The University of Denver Native American Community Advisory Board (NACAB) was established by the Task Force on Native American Inclusivity (2016). The NACAB’s members provide strategic expertise and valuable advice on how the University can better serve, recognize, and support our Native American students, faculty, and staff, as well as Native American communities more broadly. The NACAB’s work is both internal and external to the University. Internally, it focuses on what we can do to better support our Native and Indigenous community members, as well as reckon with and learn from our institution’s painful history. Externally, the NACAB consults on how we can meaningfully connect with and celebrate Native American communities in Colorado and beyond.
