Board of Regents
The Haskell National Board of Regents is a 15-member advisory body committed to supporting the mission and vision of Haskell Indian Nations University. Of the 15 members, 13 are appointed through a Tribal or intertribal resolution, ensuring representation from the broader Alaska Native/American Indian communities. The remaining two members are designated by the Haskell Student Government Association and the Haskell National Alumni Association per the Board By-Laws and Constitution.
The Board encourages you to reach out to your regent representative for any inquiries. Please refer to the directory below for contact information. Not sure which region represents your Tribe? Please see this map for the federally-recognized Tribes covered by each region.
