American Indian Student Alliance
AISA is a North Idaho College student organization advised by the American Indian Student Advisor. AISA is comprised of active Native and non-Native American NIC students committed to supporting the Native American community. We work together to support Native American students in their education as well as in their college environment and encourage members, and students to be involved in leadership, social, educational, and recreational events. In that, our focus is to teach students skills that will benefit them in their education and future careers.
