Summer Intern/Work Experience Program Returns Last year, the Siletz Tribe funded a Summer Intern/Work Experience Program to give college-level students an opportunity to gain hands-on expe rience working within tribal government. The highly successful program placed five students in different departments within the tribal organization - Accounting, Clinic Management, the Diabetes Program, Finance, and Clinic Operations. They gained work experience that they could use for their practicum and gained working knowledge of tribal programs. The tribe hopes that utilizing this program will encourage more tribal students to return to work for the tribe after graduation. The Tribal Council once again has funded the Summer Intern/Work Experience Program for tribal higher education students. Priority will be given to upper-level students, but any college level student is eligible to apply. Application forms will be mailed to all students who utilize the tribe’s Higher Education program. If you don’t utilize this program or didn’t get an application form, please contact the education specialist in your area. Applications are due by 4:30 p.m. on June 13, 2003. Students selected will begin work on July 1, 2003. Springfield Teacher Tianna’s husband, Warner, helped the classroom by drawing a buffalo for their bulletin board. Jur»2003 a SHetzNtW* O 9
