Chair's Welcome Remarks
 As faculty and staff at the American Indian Studies program, we extend to you our congratulations and offer you support as you continue through the program. We are here to advise you, to see that you succeed, to support you in academics, and to help provide for the financial and social support needed in order to complete the program. You have become a member of a very important team, and we will do all to help you succeed.
Your role as a student is to be a learner, a thinker, perhaps a trailblazer, and indeed a scholar. We want to work with you to see you succeed. You have the honor of attending one of the top ranked institutions in the country, and we look forward to getting to know you, to welcome you back each year, to watching you grow and learn, and to honor you as you graduate.
