As the editors note in their introduction, a critical element of higher education is understanding the students it serves. But there is little general understanding of Native American students in higher education, possibly because of their "invisibility" within the confines of academia. The contributors, some of them Native Americans, offer insights and a framework for understanding and providing for the needs of those students. Subjects discussed include: first-year experience for Native American freshmen, the historically Native American fraternity and sorority movement, incorporating native culture into student affairs, tribal college collaborations, how institutions can support native professional and graduate students, and best practices. Editors are Shotton (Native American studies, U. of Oklahoma), Lowe (Harvard U. Native American Program), and Waterman (higher education administration in educational leadership, U. of Rochester).
