Chancellor Drake at Powwow

Chancellor Michael Drake welcomed more than 2,000 community members to the Eighth Annual Powwow May 30 at the Mesa Court Field. The two-day event was co-sponsored by UCI’s American Indian Resource Program and the American Indian Student Association. Powwows are traditional gatherings to celebrate, honor and respect Native culture. Performances included dancers from Alaska, Arizona, California, New Mexico, South Dakota, Washington and Mexico, and drum groups from throughout California.

This year’s theme was “Strengthening the Health of our Future Generations,” and UC Irvine Medical Center participated by promoting diabetes prevention with the use of its full-service Mobile Medicine unit.
