The Lakota Immersion-Mentorship Program for Creighton University administration, faculty and staff includes working with Lakota high school students who are preparing for college, visiting historical and cultural sites on the Pine Ridge and Rosebud reservations, and a dialogue with Lakota students currently enrolled at Creighton as well as with other Lakota living on the reservations. Participants in the program will work with students at Red Cloud High School, a Jesuit school on Pine Ridge. Events are designed to allow each mentor to get to know her/his protégés and to begin the very complicated and lengthy process of completing the Gates Millennium Scholarship application.
