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.

INDIAN COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT PROGRAM

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.
