Through this Summer Institute\, educators with expertise in policies and practices vital to Native student success develop through our training sessions. \n \n \n \n \n \n AN INTENSIVE EXPERIENCE\n \n \n \n \n \n Summer Institute attendance is purposely limited to provide participants with an intensive experience that focuses equally on knowledge and skill building\, information sharing\, and the opportunity to draw upon the accumulated wisdom and experiences of the presenters as well as colleagues.  \nIn an atmosphere of collaboration\, friendship\, and fun\, the Summer Institute offers opportunities for spiritual renewal and personal empowerment.  The Elder-In-Residence fulfills an important role within the Summer Institute. The Elder will begin and end each day with a prayer and reflection.  The Elder-In-Residence will offer valuable context in which to consider our shared experiences throughout the Summer Institute. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Learn more about Ninlhe\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n WHO SHOULD ATTEND?\n \n \n \n \n \n Native and non-Native administrators\, professional staff\, and faculty committed to supporting and increasing recruitment\, retention and graduation of American Indian\, Alaska Native\, Native Hawaiian and Aboriginal students at public\, private\, and tribal colleges and universities in the U.S. and Canada. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n REGISTRATION INFORMATION\nSummer Institute participants are expected to arrive on 21 July 2026 \n\nBefore 8 June 2026 – $550\nAfter 8 June 2026 – $650\n\nIncluded with Registration \n\nDaily parking at University of Utah Conference Center\, where the Summer Institute will take place\nAll meals (Tuesday lunch through Thursday dinner)\n\nNot Included with Registration \nLodging is not included in your Summer Institute registration rate\, but registrants can take advantage of our special room block and group rates at the University of Utah Guest House\, which is connected to the Conference Center.
