NATURE University Summer Camp
The NATURE University Summer Camp is an exciting opportunity for Tribal College students ages 18+ to experience campus life at North Dakota State University (NDSU) or University of North Dakota (UND) while building great connections with other TCU students and peer mentors and learning about STEM and research. The camp is typically held during the first two weeks of June. During these two weeks, students will have an on-campus program that includes interactive and hands-on laboratory work, culturally-based research activities, engaging with other TCU and graduate students and alumni to learn about their STEM journeys, and fun evening events. Students will also receive a stipend for participation in the camp!
Goals of the camp:
- Introduce tribal college students to STEM disciplines and career opportunities
- Provide opportunities to experience campus and city life
- Encourage students to pursue STEM degree programs and pathways
