Indian Natural Resources, Science & Engineering Program + Diversity in STEM (INRSEP+)

Braiding Science, Culture, and Community

INRSEP provides academic and research support services to first generation, low income, and other students in STEMM disciplines with a focus on American Indian communities and Traditional Ecological Knowledge (TEK). Through community based participatory research, we strive to work as partners with local tribal and other communities, learn through Indigenous knowledge lenses, and contribute to each community’s respective goals. INRSEP accommodates diverse methodologies of working with the natural world and draws from the Traditional Ecological Knowledges and Sciences of both Indigenous peoples and the western world.

Blending community and professional engagement with academic advising and holistic mentorship by providing bridges to key campus and community resources, our INRSEP advisors foster student-faculty connections and encourage students to consider their academic and career pathways after graduation. We serve students by connecting them to research opportunities, providing academic and career counseling, assisting with entrance into graduate programs, and fostering an inclusive and supportive learning community.
