University of South Dakota

We believe that exposure and discussion of diversity issues such as racism and the ethnic minority experience can facilitate positive institutional change. We value and desire respect for diversity in all levels of education.

Building Bridges provides opportunities for students and faculty to learn effective ways to make higher education a positive experience for all students, but especially Native American students.

Our annual conference is a collaborative effort, sponsored by the USD Clinical Program and the USD Admissions Office. Please join us!  We'd love to see you at our next Annual Building Bridges Conference.
