When he decided to transfer to Colorado State University, Weston Jones had some concerns.
“To be honest, I was a little scared of coming to a mostly white university,” said Jones, a member of the Oglala Lakota Nation who grew up on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation in South Dakota. “I didn’t know if I would be able to find any people like me.”
He did, thanks to outreach by the Native American Cultural Center’s North Star peer mentoring program. Jones became a mentor himself, estimating that he has helped nearly 100 incoming first-year and transfer students find their way within the campus community over the past three years. He was also part of the Community for Excellence and AISES, which plans the annual campus pow wow.
