Sovereignty Speaks #28
American Indian Student Leadership
OSU Center for Sovereign Nations
Center student leaders are citizens of two federal governments - their Sovereign Tribal Nation - and the United States of America. One of their primary responsibilities is to educate others about how tribal governments exercise sovereignty as they govern/provide services for their citizens, and as they interact with other governments. Center student leaders invite others to learn about the culture of their respective tribal nations. Maintaining an aggregate GPA of 3.0, center student leaders are committed to being strong students. Two-thirds are studying Science, Technology, Engineering and Math.
Center student leaders create a home-away-from-home for students on OSU campus by welcoming them and by connecting them to OSU programs and resources and to tribal programs and resources. Leaders of NASA, AISES, AIIP, and APiO meet in the center each week. All students are welcome.
