Cultural Enrichment

  • The NAC goal is to support students in creating a sense of belonging at SRJC for Native American students in a culturally appropriate way. No matter where Native and Indigenous students are in their level of connection or identity, this is their community. 
  •  At the center, students can connect with SRJC resources that enhance their academic success, learn about culturally relevant activities, and create a support network with other students who identify as Native American. Some of us have grown up in our tribal lands, while some of us are finding our way home.
  • Given the rich diversity of our Indigenous community, we strive to make Santa Rosa Junior College a place where all our identities are celebrated. Our community includes students, classified professionals, faculty, and alumni from a wide variety of tribal backgrounds, experiences, and academic interests.

Community Gatherings

  • The Native American Center (NAC) anchors events, programs, lectures, performances, meetings, gatherings, and conversations around Native issues, concerns, and lived experiences.
