Center for Student Life
 |
The Center for Student Life
provides comprehensive support services to enhance the student’s
educational experience and foster their academic, social, personal and
cultural growth. The Center provides an atmosphere that is conducive
to student learning, creativity and the respect of diversity. Student
Life accomplishes its mission through its predominantly American Indian
staff who provides a wide range of services in counseling, student housing,
activities and recreation, student transportation, health and wellness,
career and job placement, student leadership development, student clubs
and organizations, new student orientation, and student discipline.
Dean of Students
The Dean of Students is responsible for the non-academic areas of student
life and oversees the student service programs. The primary leadership
responsibilities of the Dean are supervision and management of the Enrollment
Management and Student Life departments, provides support for the student
clubs and organizations, and provides direction and coordination of
all areas for both housing and off-campus students. The office of the
Dean of Students is located in the Student Life Administration Building.
 Healing
Circle
The goal of Healing Circle is to assist and support students in successfully
navigating through the stress of college life and its environment. The
Healing Circle is located in the Library Technology Center and it offers
a place to reflect and relax on campus. The Healing Circle staff is
Counseling Coordinator, Jane Oliver and First Year Experience Coordinator,
Diane Reyna. Come by and take advantage of the quiet space and services.
Counseling Services
The Counseling office is located in the Library Technology Center and
offers students an accessible, confidential counseling program that
includes individual, group and supportive counseling. The counselor
assists students with adjustment to college life, substance abuse prevention,
academic concerns, and interpersonal relationships. Referrals can be
made through housing, faculty, family and self-referral. Appointments
can be made by contacting the Counseling Office at 424-2344.
No Daycare Services
The Institute does not provide childcare services for students. Students
with children should contact the Center for Student Life at (505) 424-2337
to request a list, with phone numbers, of local childcare centers in
the Santa Fe area.
 New
Student Orientation
At the beginning of each semester the Institute hosts a 1 week orientation
program for new students. The program is required for all 1st time and
transfer students for an introduction to campus life, and to help them
adjust to college life at IAIA. Students develop an awareness of services
and activities at IAIA, and become familiar with the campus, receive
academic advice, and are offered other opportunities to participate
in programs designed to foster personal growth.
Career Arts Development and Placement Center
The Institute of American Indian Arts and the Career Arts Development
and Placement Center (CAD/PC) provides services that empower students
and alumni to successfully seek their professional aspirations by supplying
information on scholarships, internships, grants, and employment opportunities
on and off campus. The Career Arts Development and Placement Center
does not secure admittance to other schools or employment for students,
but rather works with each individual to determine what would be the
best approach to implement their educational and career choices. Our
intentions are to assist students and alumni as they develop their career
and academic endeavors, through formal/informal resources, one-on-one
meetings, career development workshops, availability of college/university
catalogs, MFA program presentations from other colleges and universities,
and a weekly CAD/PC newsletter.
Student Transportation/City Bus Transportation
Student transportation is provided to classes held at the IAIA Museum
and to officially prearranged IAIA sponsored activities. Transportation
is also provided to and from the Santa Fe Community College (SFCC) city
bus stop for bus transportation to any location in the city of Santa
Fe. An IAIA van transportation schedule is posted on bulletin board
throughout the campus and the city bus schedule is available in the
library and student housing office.
