American Indian Student Academic Services (AISAS)

Created in 1993 to focus on the retention of American Indian, Alaskan Native & Native Hawaiian undergraduate students, AISAS continues to assist undergraduate, graduate, and professional students in their academic, professional, and personal growth. AISAS promotes retention through outreach, student advocacy, community development, and academic advising. Continuously inhabited since ice sheets receded 12,000 years ago, DeJope (the Four Lakes region) has been Ho Chunk homeland for 2,000+ years.   The shores of Lake Mendota are now home to the University of Wisconsin – Madison. The campus and city of Madison exist in what was once the epicenter of the mound building cultures of the upper Midwest. Of the ~20,000 mounds created prior to European arrival, forty-five Archaeological Site Indices remain on campus.
