State University Graduate School of Edu-

the U.S. Department of Education Office
of Indian Education (OIE) to recruit and
prepare American Indian students for
teaching licensure and master’s degrees
over the next four years.

to accept student teachers!”
PSU is the largest school of education
in the state and the Portland-metro area
has the largest American Indian popula-
