TCU Working Group
The American Indian Higher Education has convened a working group of Tribal Colleges and Universities (TCU) faculty who are addressing (or are planning to address) FEWS (Food, Energy, Water Systems) issues in Native communities through education, research, community outreach and career development programs. This group will collaborate to identify common priorities, discuss ideas for collaboration, and develop projects to meet both common goals and their respective institutional and community goals. Priority goals for the group include partnerships with Native FEWS Alliance members – aligning and collaborating across Alliance pathways, and pursuing cross-pathway funding to support initiatives that leverage and build upon Alliance member resources.
