Description:

The summit, titled "American Indian Student Success Belongs to All of Us," is an effort to bring campuses and departments together to further strengthen system efforts to grow American Indian student enrollment, retention and completion. 

The summit is sponsored by a grant awarded to the Montana University System from the Lumina Foundation’s Racial Justice and Equity Fund. Regent Casey Lozar, a member of the Confederated Salish and Kootenai tribes, will be the keynote speaker, and MSU student Zach Felsman will sing an opening song.
