The annual tribal college and university (TCU) faculty convening held by the American Indian College Fund offers faculty the rare opportunity to share their research and best practices with each other and to make valuable connections with peers across the TCU system. TCUs have a unique dual mission to provide a quality higher education to their students while maintaining the Native cultures of the tribes who charter them. The convening gathers faculty in person for deeper discussions on how they can help advance this dual mission. The 12th annual convening saw a record number of attendees despite federal budget cuts to TCUs over the past two years. Breakout and plenary sessions covered a multitude of topics essential to Native higher education, such as Native-centered teaching practices, innovations in student research, collaborating for student success, and the ethical use of AI for the more than 150 education professionals who gathered for the event. Attendees said the conference emphasized the importance of Indigenous-centered teaching practices serving as the foundation for every course taught at TCUs. The convening further highlighted the value of faculty connection and shared learning across tribally led higher education institutions. The culturally grounded sessions reminded those attending that student success is not only about productivity or academic achievement but relationships, representation, and community. Despite the distance between TCUs, faculty made valuable connections to overcome isolation as they prepare students to lead their tribal communities and build their careers. American Indian College Fund president and CEO, Cheryl Crazy Bull, said, “The College Fund is honored to support TCU faculty as they build their skills and network so they can serve Native and rural students at our institutions with the best content knowledge, teaching skills, and cultural competencies. We appreciate our faculty and the work they do to strengthen our communities’ self-determination.”
