Native Duck Nation

Fostering relationships with Native American alumni

The Native Duck Nation creates opportunities for Native American Duck alumni to network, socialize and meet other alumni, students, faculty, staff and community partners. The network provides a space for alumni to stay connected with the cultural development of the campus community and build upon their own experiences.
