Care for Nahasdzáán
Care for Nahasdzáán—inspired by the Diné concept of caring for the Earth—offers students the opportunity to engage directly with community partners through hands-on service and environmental stewardship. This immersive experience helps students better understand the relationships between people, place, and responsibility, while building skills in collaboration, empathy, and applied problem-solving. By removing barriers to participation, Sociology aims to ensure that all students can take part in this transformative program, regardless of financial means.
