When we're grounded in our identities, traditions, and communities, we're better equipped to adapt, lead, and create lasting change while staying true to ourselves.Whether you're still discovering your path or already leading on your campus, Rooted to Rise is a space to build community, challenge ideas, share stories, and imagine what's possible together. You'll leave with new perspectives, meaningful connections, and a deeper sense of purpose.This event is designed with Native and Indigenous students at the center, but we welcome anyone who is committed to learning, building community, and engaging with respect.Come as you are. Bring your questions, your experiences, and your vision for the future.Hosted by Oglala Lakota, Lora Catches and Osage Nation, Evan Hill
