Family Friendly Campus Work
The American Indian College Fund, the Urban Institute, PERG Learning, and TCU partners—Lac Courte Oreilles Ojibwe University, Salish Kootenai College, and Turtle Mountain College—have collaborated for the Family-Friendly Tribal and Rural Campuses project, with support from Ascendium Education Group.
The Family-Friendly Tribal and Rural Campuses project is a knowledge exchange: Urban and PERG provide the Family-Friendly Campus Toolkit for TCU partners to implement as part of the College Fund’s Cultivating Native Student Success (CNSS) strategic enrollment management initiative. The TCUs are providing feedback to make the toolkit more relevant for tribal and rural campuses. The College Fund and the Urban Institute, in turn, will inform the higher education field about the promising practices TCUs have implemented.
TCU partners refined and administered a Fall 2024 survey for student caregivers and hosted site visits in which staff, administrators, and student caregivers shared their experiences and insights.
The Family-Friendly Tribal and Rural Campuses project is affiliated with the Student-Parent Action through Research Knowledge (SPARK) Collaborative, a national effort to advance evidence and policy change that support parenting students and their families.
We invite you to hear more about the project in the videos below featuring Amie, Vice President of Academic Affairs at Salish Kootenai College; Cynthia, Director of Enrollment Services at Turtle Mountain College; Kathie, Director of TRIO Student Support Services at Salish Kootenai College; and Lorraine, Tribal Governing Board Member (former Retention Director) at Lac Courte Oreilles Ojibwe University.
