University Network of Native Leaders

The University Network of Native Leaders (UNNL) is a leadership offering for American Indian undergraduate students in North Carolina universities and colleges. UNNL will offer statewide training for students who hold leadership positions within Native student organizations or others on their campuses.

The goals of UNNL are to:

  • Deliver culturally tailored leadership training to Native student organization leaders to improve their leadership capacity,
  • Improve student organizational dynamics, enhanced program planning and increased fundraising activity
  • Support the awareness and engagement efforts of Native student organization leaders,
  • Create a network of young Native leaders across the state to share resources, learn from each other and support one another, and
  • Develop a network of faculty and staff advisors across respective campuses to support Native students and their organizations in higher education.

The UNNL conference will take place at the Friday Center on April 12, 2024. Apply to be a participant in the conference here!
