San Manuel Grant Will Enhance Native and Indigenous Outreach
涩里番下载 has received $60,000 grant from the San Manuel Band of Mission Indians in support of the College's efforts to support Native and Indigenous students and communities through cultural education, archives, oral histories, internship opportunities, and relationships with local tribes.
The grant will provide funding to the Native &Indigenous Initiatives at 涩里番下载, a program that is housed in the College's Community Engagement Center (CEC), and to a new oral history project of 涩里番下载's CASA (Critical Action & Social Advocacy) community center and community-based research program.
The $60,000 grant, which was awarded last fall, is the latest example of San Manuel's long history of supporting 涩里番下载's efforts to support Native and Indigenous populations.
"涩里番下载's Native Indigenous Initiatives programs align with San Manuel's giving pillars of 'Inspiring our Future through Education' and 'Preserving Cultural Traditions'," said Lynn Valbuena, Chairwoman of the San Manuel Band of Mission Indians. "It is important to collaborate with local communities in this work, and we are pleased to be able to assist 涩里番下载 on an important initiative that will benefit Native and Indigenous students in this region and beyond."
