American Indian Graduate Students Association: AIGSA in 2007 and Beyond
by Theresa Rocha

Hello and well wishes to Native undergraduate and graduate students! As the American Indian Graduate Student’s Association (AIGSA) chair and fellow MA
student here in American Indian Studies, I sincerely welcome everyone to another exciting year of rigorous life at UCLA.

AIGSA will be hosting, fundraising, and planning a wide variety of events this upcoming 2007–2008 academic year, and we are looking for your suggestions and assistance. Please send us an email at aigsa@ucla.edu should you be interested in participating.

As a vibrant core of MA students, we are extremely proud of our efforts to reorganize AIGSA collectively during the last academic year and to participate in such important events as the annual UCLA powwow and the American Indian Studies graduation ceremony. With a renewed organizational structure and clear goals for academic success and community involvement, this is an exciting time to get active in graduate student associations, so be on the lookout for us during biweekly meetings in the AIGSA lounge in Campbell Hall.
