The program is designed to help new students transition to PSU through aca- demic support and community building activities. It focuses on American Indian/ Alaskan Native experience and is ideal for new students who want a cultural com- munity connection to the PSU campus Participants engage in a two-week Con- nect Program & College Success Course prior to starting fall term to get a head start, connect with new students and peer men- tors, and learn about PSU resources that are essential to student success. The course will provide an overview of the knowledge and skills necessary to successfully transition to college. Stu- dents will share their educational goals, personal strengths and cultural norms; identify areas in which they may need sup- port; and become familiar with support services and other resources on campus and in the community. Native students who have completed their first year at PSU are invited to apply to be a mentor in the program. Trevino Brings Plenty (Cheyenne River Sioux), coordinator of Native American Student Services, will accept applications through August. For more information, contact him at 503-725-5348 or trevino@pdx.edu. City areas of Northern California. They seek to provide opportunities for Tribal members to reach their full potential and to establish independence, along with improving their quality of life through lifelong learning and education. The Confederated Tribes of Siletz Indians (CTSI) was selected as the recipient of the fourth annual Friend of the College Award in recognition of the organization’s longtime dedication and support of the students and employees of Oregon Coast Community College. CTSI has partnered with OCCC to help create an inclusive and welcoming environment where all members of our community can thrive. Tribal members have served as guest lecturers and work- shop facilitators, educating the campus and our community on Tribal history and cultural traditions. Members also serve on the OCCC Foundation Board and advisory commit- tees, ensuring that programs are designed to meet the needs of Native American students as well as other populations. The College has received substantial financial support through the Siletz Tribal Charitable Contribution Fund to upgrade lab equipment and improve programs. This year, the support and endorsement of CTSI was a contributing factor to OCCC’s success in securing funding from Meyer Memorial Trust (and others) to launch new Teacher Education and Early Childhood Education programs this fall. These are only a few of the ways CTSI has partnered with OCCC to support the growth and vitality of our college and community, and we are deeply appreciative of their ongoing collaboration and support of the college.
