UC San Diego Tribal Engagement Survey

The Intertribal Resource Center is working on a project to capture a history of UC San Diego's tribal engagement. This project will help lay some of the groundwork for a Native American Academic Excellence Initiative - an important step forward in UC San Diego's commitment to Native American communities. You can help shape that narrative. If you have experience or knowledge of any past or present projects/programs/initiatives between UC San Diego and any of our tribal communities, please complete our survey questionnaire (link below). Thank you in advance for your support.
