The Native American Educational and Cultural Center (NAECC) at Purdue University represent the culmination of student, faculty, and administrative staff commitment to fostering a culturally diverse and intellectually inclusive campus environment. As the physical realization of the Tecumseh Project’s specific Native American student recruitment and retention objectives, the newly established NAECC seeks to provide Native American students personal and professional enrichment opportunities in a culturally-appropriate fashion and to serve as a “second home” for current and prospective Native American students. Moreover, the NAECC’s intended inclusion of Native American tribal communities and non-Native Purdue students, faculty, and staff into campus educational, cultural, and research programs will foster an environment of mutual accountability and respect that is vital to crafting cross-cultural relationships and to enhancing campus diversity.
