Learning Beyond the Classroom
At UD, learning is not limited to the classroom. You'll gain experience in integrating research with social action and applying academic knowledge on campus and to communities beyond the University.
The Native Peoples of the Americas Colloquium
The Native Peoples of the Americas Colloquium is an annual gathering that shines light on Indigenous Peoples’ history, culture and spirituality through presentations, films, performances and workshops.
The Native Peoples of the Americas Colloquium is coordinated by a planning committee of University faculty and staff, and local indigenous scholars and activists. Mary Anne Angel founded Circle of Light, which launched the Colloquium, in 2000.
Standing Rock Trip
The University of Dayton’s efforts to build connections with America’s Indigenous communities extend from campus to the Black Hills of South Dakota. UD students have traveled to the Standing Rock Indian Reservation, which straddles the North and South Dakota borders, for service and a 10-day cross-cultural immersion.
