About Us
American Indian Programs and Services (AIPS) is one of four Multicultural Programs & Services (MCPS) offices that support a variety of students at the University of Oklahoma. With guidance from MCPS, we strive to strengthen the OU experience through our pillars of Community, Leadership, and Advocacy.
AIPS is dedicated to creating a community that supports the retention and graduation of students identifying with Indigenous identities. Through personal, professional, and educational opportunities, we guide and support Indigenous students to achieve their educational and personal goals.
Get Involved
Our office hosts many annual programs that celebrate and honor our culture while enriching the OU community. Additionally, we directly advise the American Indian Student Association, a premier student organization supporting the development of Native American students. We encourage you to also check out the many other cultural organizations on campus!
