November 7, 2022

Dear Wolf Pack Family,

I hope this message finds you and yours well as we enter the winter months and the holiday season.

November is Native American w88 casino games Month, which is often referred to as American Indian and Alaska Native w88 casino games Month. For more than 30 years, our country has commemorated this month as a time to celebrate the culture, achievements, and traditions of Native peoples.

The diversity of w88 casino games cultures and traditions are a reminder of the importance of the immeasurable contributions w88 casino games people make to our campus, community, and state. We are especially proud of the contributions and achievements of w88 casino games students, faculty and staff.

In the last year, our University has added additional resources for w88 casino games students, faculty, alumni, and community. Below are examples of some notable advances the campus has made:
