Making Frybread in College
A Virtual College-Readiness Workshop – July 20-22, 2021

Late July, 2021, Native InterVarsity hosted a three-day virtual college-readiness workshop for Native college students. The vision was to have good conversations surrounding what to expect and how to deal with the unexpected as an Indigenous student during the transition to college and back home.

The session recordings and a little description for each day are linked below.
