For the first time, Native American Studies and other student organizations will host a 'Welcome Back Prayer & Run' scheduled for Monday, August 26, 2024, outside The University of New Mexico's Student Union Building.

Presented by The Kiva Club, UNM Native American Studies and Indigenous Research Group (NASIRG), and the Society of Native American Graduate and Undergraduate Studies (SNAGUS), the event will start with prayer at 6 a.m. with an Isleta Pueblo Traditional Leader to support students and staff during the fall semester.

Students, staff, and all local community members are encouraged to join.
