LCOOUEXTENSION PROVIDES QUALITY RESPONSIVE LEARNING OPPORTUNITIES IN THE FOCUS AREAS OFAGRICULTURE YOUTH AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT RESEARCH AND CAREER/EMPLOYMENT READINESS SKILL FOR ITS STAKEHOLDERS. THESE FOCUS AREAS ARE RELATED THROUGH THE SCOPE AND CONTENT OF THE PROGRAMMING WHILE ALSO FUNCTIONING INDEPENDENTLY. THIS ALLOWS FOR A VARIETY OF OPPORTUNITIES IN EACH FOCUS AREA THAT ALIGN WITH THE OBJECTIVES OF EACH INDIVIDUAL FOCUS THUS PROVIDING A STABLE ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE WITHIN WHICH TO OPERATE. THIS CAN BE SEEN IN THE MISSION STATEMENT AND SCOPE OF THE LCOOU AGRICULTURE RESEARCH STATION: TO PROMOTE LAND STEWARDSHIPPRACTICES WHILE PROVIDING AGRICULTURAL AND EDUCATION OPPORTUNITIES FOR LAC COURTE OREILLES OJIBWE UNIVERSITYSTUDENTS LOCAL K-12 INSTITUTIONS AND THE COMMUNITY ENCOMPASSES ALL FOCUS AREAS OF LCOOU. IN ADDITION TO THE MISSION OBJECTIVES COVERINGAGRICULTURE AND YOUTH AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT THE LCOOUAGRICULTURE RESEARCH STATION ALSO CREATES OPPORTUNITIES FOR CAREER AND EMPLOYMENT SKILL THROUGH INTERNSHIPS AND STUDENT RESEARCH FOR LCOOUEXTENSION STAKEHOLDERS. THE 3 OTHER MAIN AREAS OF LCOOUEXTENSION FUNCTION SIMILARLY INTEGRATING MULTIPLE COMPONENTS OF EACH AREA TO CREATE A COMPREHENSIVE MODEL WITH WHICH TO SERVE THE LCO COMMUNITY LCO AREA RESIDENTS TRIBAL COMMUNITIES AND BROADER AUDIENCES.

LAC COURTE OREILLES OJIBWE COLLEGE'S EDUCATION PROGRAM IS ALIGNED WITH THE STRATEGIC GOAL 4 OF THE USDA TO FACILITATE RURAL PROSPERITY AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT. BUILDING UPON THE PREVIOUS EDUCATION PROGRAM GRANT FOR 2018-2022; THIS PROPOSAL WILL IMPROVE STUDENT SUCCESS WITH COMMUNITYKNOWLEDGE AND FIELD-BASED EDUCATION IN THE SCIENCES. THE GOALS OF THE PROJECT ARE TO DEVELOP A BACHELOR OF SCIENCE DEGREE IN BIOLOGY; AND DEVELOP COMMUNITYKNOWLEDGE AND AGRICULTURE BASED EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMMING TO INCREASE INVOLVEMENT WITH AREA K-12 SCHOOL DISTRICTS.THE PROPOSAL GOALS DIRECTLY RELATE TO NIFA'S TRIBAL COLLEGE EDUCATION GRANT PROGRAMS GOALS BY INCREASING THE COLLEGE'S CAPACITY THROUGH THE DEVELOPMENT OF COMMUNITY RELEVANT CURRICULA WHILE FOCUSING ON STUDENT RECRUITMENT AND RETENTION. THROUGH A SURVEY CONDUCTED IN MARCH 2022; CURRENT STUDENTS AND RECENT ALUMNI OF THE AGRICULTURE/ NATURAL RESOURCES AND SCIENCE ASSOCIATE DEGREE PROGRAMS 84.6% OF THE RESPONDENTS INDICATED SUPPORT INTEREST AND NEED FOR LCOOC TO OFFER A BACCALAUREATE DEGREE IN A SCIENCE RELATED FIELD. THE COLLEGE'S SUSTAINABLE AGRICULTURE RESEARCH STATION WILL AID IN THE COURSE CURRICULUM AND PROVIDE FIELD-BASED LABS TO ALLOW STUDENTS TO EXPERIENCE AND CONDUCT ACTIVITIES IN THE FIELD. EXPANDING UPON AND IMPROVING THE PARTNERSHIPS WILL BE A PRIORITY TO CREATE A WELL-ROUNDED COMMUNITYRELEVANT EDUCATIONAL EXPERIENCE FOR STUDENTS WHILE INCREASING INTEREST IN THE SCIENCES.THE LCOOC 2022-2026 EDUCATIONPROGRAM WILL BE ASSESSED BOTH QUANTITATIVELY AND QUALITATIVELY. QUALITATIVE MEASURES WILL BE CAPTURED VIA PHOTOS AND VIDEOS DOCUMENTING THE ACTIVITIES AND EXPERIENTIAL LEARNING OPPORTUNITIES PROVIDED TO SCIENCE BIOLOGY AGRICULTURE AND NATURAL RESOURCES STUDENTS AS WELL AS K-12 EDUCATIONAL OFFERINGS AND RESOURCES PROVIDED TO INSTITUTIONS AND EDUCATORS. STUDENTS' ABSTRACTS OF THEIR POSTER OR ORAL PRESENTATIONS FOR NATIONAL CONFERENCES SUCH AS AISES OR FALCON WILL PROVIDE AN OVERVIEW OF INTERNSHIP RESEARCH AND EXPERIENTIAL LEARNING OPPORTUNITIES. OTHER QUALITATIVE MEASURES WILL INCLUDE SOCIAL MEDIA ANALYTICS FOR COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT WITH POSTS PHOTOS AND UPDATES RELATED TO THE EDUCATIONACTIVITIES. QUANTITATIVE MEASURES WILL INCLUDE STATISTICS ON STUDENT ENROLLMENT IN THE SCIENCES EMPHASIZING BIOLOGY AND AGRICULTURE AND NATURAL RESOURCES DEGREE PROGRAMS. DATA WILL BE COLLECTED TO REFLECT ENROLLMENT RETENTION AND GRADUATION RATES OF STUDENTS. STUDENT SURVEYS WILL ALSO BE USED AT THE END OF EACH SEMESTER TO EVALUATE OVERALL SATISFACTION WITH THE PROGRAMMING AS WELL AS TO DETERMINE WANTS AND NEEDS FOR FUTURE PROGRAMMING. SURVEYS TO PARTICIPATING K-12 INSTITUTIONS AND EDUCATORS WILL BE UTILIZED TO EVALUATE THE QUALITY OF K-12 EDUCATIONAL OFFERINGS. DATA ON DOWNLOAD FREQUENCY AND WEBSITE ANALYTICS WILL BE USED TO DETERMINE THE RATE OF USE FOR ONLINE ACTIVITY PACKETS AND LESSON PLANS AS WELL AS TRENDS IN WEBSITE VISITS TO BETTER UNDERSTAND THE TIMEFRAMES WHEN RESOURCES ARE MOST NEEDED.

THE PROJECT BUILDS ON THE CURRENT FUNDED NEW BEGINNINGS GRANT TO IDENTIFY AND STRENGTHEN MULTIPLE PATHWAYS FOR NATIVE YOUTH TO PURSUE STEM CAREERS. THIS PROJECT EXTENDS AND DEEPENS THE FIRST SIGNIFICANT COLLABORATION AMONG THE THREE LAND-GRANT INSTITUTIONS IN WISCONSIN TO BROADLY COORDINATE SYSTEMIC EFFORTS TO SUPPORT NATIVE EDUCATION PATHWAYS ACROSS TRIBAL AND PUBLIC EDUCATIONAL SYSTEMS. IN THIS PROPOSAL, WE FOCUS ON AGRICULTURE AND NATURAL RESOURCE MANAGEMENT MAJORS AND INTERNSHIPS, TO INCREASE THE NUMBER OF COLLEGE-EDUCATED NATIVE PEOPLE AND BUILD CAPACITY FOR A ROBUST TRIBAL WORKFORCE. THE PROJECT IS ALIGNED WITH INPUT FROM THE TWELVE NATIVE NATIONS IN WISCONSIN TO DEVELOP PATHWAYS FOR THEIR YOUTH TO GRADUATE FROM HIGHER EDUCATION. KEY PARTNERS ARE LAC COURTE OREILLES OJIBWE COLLEGE, COLLEGE OF MENOMINEE NATION, UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSIN-MADISON, AND WISCONSIN TRIBAL CONSERVATION ADVISORY COUNCIL. OUR GOAL IS TO ENHANCE EDUCATIONAL READINESS AND RETENTION IN COLLEGE, LEADING TO WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT FOR NATIVE YOUTH THROUGH ACTIVITIES TARGETING PRE-COLLEGE TO TRIBAL COLLEGES AND UW-MADISON. THROUGH OUR PROPOSED ACTIVITIES WE WILL FOSTER NATIVE LEADERSHIP, AMPLIFY NATIVE VOICES AND BUILD SUSTAINABLE STRATEGIES FOR ACADEMIC AND CAREER GOAL ACHIEVEMENT CONTRIBUTING TO A DIVERSE WORKFORCE. OBJECTIVE 1. BROADEN NATIVE PRE-COLLEGE STUDENTS' EXPERIENCES WITH STEM, AGRICULTURE AND NATURAL RESOURCE MAJORS AND CAREERS, AND EXPAND THESE OPPORTUNITIES TO OTHER TRIBAL COMMUNITIES WITHIN WISCONSIN. OBJECTIVE 2 ATTRACT AND RETAIN STUDENTS IN STEM MAJORS PARTICULARLY IN NATURAL RESOURCE CONSERVATION AND AGRICULTURAL FIELDS. INCREASE STUDENT GRADUATION AND CAREER PREPARATION THROUGH CULTIVATING A SENSE OF BELONGING, SKILL MASTERY, AND COMMITMENT TO INDIVIDUAL GROWTH AND SERVICE TO COMMUNITY.

HEERF INSTITUTION EMERGENCY AID

ALTHOUGH THERE HAS BEEN A LOT OF PROGRESS MADE WITH PAST EQUITY GRANTS, THERE IS STILL A NEED FOR LCOOCC TO FACILITATE CONNECTIONS BETWEEN EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS FROM PRE-K THROUGH THE 4-YEAR UNIVERSITY LEVEL AND PROVIDE EXPERIENTIAL LEARNING PLATFORMS TO MEET THE NEEDS OF AN EVER EVOLVING AGRICULTURAL AND NATURAL RESOURCES CLIMATE. LCOOCC'S EQUITY PROPOSAL WILL FOCUS AS AN EDUCATION/ TEACHING PROJECT WITH A COMBINATION FOCUS ON CURRICULUM DESIGN AND MATERIALS DEVELOPMENT, STUDENT EXPERIENTIAL LEARNING, AND STUDENT RECRUITMENT AND RETENTION. HEALTHY FOOD CHOICES AND ACCESS TO FRESH AND LOCALLY PRODUCED FOODS REPRESENT PART OF THE CURRENT CHALLENGES FACED BY ANISHINAABE COMMUNITIES. ANOTHER VITAL ASPECT IN THE FOOD CHAIN PROCESS IS WHAT OCCURS POST-HARVEST AND MOVING THAT HEALTHY FOOD FROM FARM-TO-TABLE TO INCLUDE PROCESSING AND CULINARY SKILLS. THROUGH AN AMERICAN INDIAN COLLEGE FUND (AICF) SUSTAINABLE PATHWAYS GRANT IN 2016-17, A NEED AND DESIRE FOR INDIGENOUS CULINARY ARTS PROGRAMS WERE CONFIRMED THROUGH COMMUNITY FOCUS GROUPS, GAINFUL EMPLOYMENT DATA, INDUSTRY TRENDS, AND THROUGH THE RECOMMENDATION OF THE INDIGENOUS CULINARY ARTS ADVISORY COMMITTEE (ICAAC). THE CERTIFICATE PROGRAM IS CURRENTLY UNDER REVIEW BY THE HIGHER LEARNING COMMISSION (HLC). THIS UNIQUE PROGRAM WILL INTEGRATE SUSTAINABLE AGRICULTURE EXPERIENTIAL LEARNING WITH STATE OF THE ART CULINARY SKILLS WHILE INCORPORATING TRADITIONAL INDIGENOUS FOODS. EQUITY FUNDING WILL PROVIDE A CULINARY FACULTY MEMBER, AG/EQUITY SCHOLARSHIPS FOR STUDENTS IN THE FANH SCIENCES, INTERNSHIPS, AISES CHAPTER MENTORSHIP, AND INCREASED CONNECTIONS WITH AREA SCHOOL DISTRICTS TO INCREASE ENROLLMENT IN EARLY COLLEGE CREDIT PROGRAMS, WHILE CREATING A MODEL OF HIGH SCHOOL RECRUITMENT EVENTS.

THIS RESEARCH WILL PROVIDE LEARNING OPPORTUNITIES FOR UNDERGRADUATE INTERNSHIPS AND EXPERIENCE IN RESEARCH METHODOLOGY AND SUSTAINABLE PRODUCTION SYSTEMS.REPLICATED CBD HEMP CULTIVAR TRIALS WILL BE CONDUCTED IN 2021 AND 2022. EACH SITE WILL BE PLANTED USING A RANDOMIZED COMPLETE BLOCK EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN WITH TEN HIGH CBD VARIETIES, WITH 10 PLANTS PER BLOCK, REPLICATED 4 TIMES. IN RESEARCH PLOT #2, THERE WILL BE TWO REPLICATED COMPANION PLANTING STUDIES AT LCO IN THE SUMMER OF 2021 AND 2022. EACH STUDY WILL BE PLANTED USING A RANDOMIZED COMPLETE BLOCK EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN USING ONE CBD HEMP CULTIVAR, SEVEN COMPANION TREATMENTS AND A NEGATIVE CONTROL. THERE WILL BE 5 PLANTS PER BLOCK, PER TREATMENT, AND THREE REPLICATIONS.
