Indigenous Peoples Education Association

IPEA was created in 2017 to support students of any indigenous heritage to maintain or develop a healthy college community, in order to achieve equal access to academic and career success.

Our members include faculty, staff, administrators, and community members who are committed to working with students toward their educational, career and personal goals.
