Preserving Culture and Planning for the Future:
An Exploration of Student Experiences at Tribal Colleges
Preserving Culture and Planning for the Future: An Exploration of Student Experiences at Tribal Colleges aims to share a narrative of the students who attend these unique institutions. Over 1,000 students across 25 tribal colleges responded to the 2017 Survey of Entering Student Engagement (SENSE), which collects information from students about their experiences from the time they decide to enroll in college through the third week of their first term. Over 2,400 students across 22 tribal colleges responded to the 2018 Community College Survey of Student Engagement (CCSSE), which gathers information from students in the spring term about their experiences throughout the academic year.
Executive Director Evelyn Waiwaiole and Assistant Director of College Relations Linda García hosted a webinar on Preserving Culture and Planning for the Future. View the webinar here.
CCCSE is grateful for the generous support and opportunity provided by our sponsor.
