DescriptionLisa Murkowski with students from Iḷisaġvik College.jpg
English: .@Ilisagvik College is the northernmost accredited community college in the U.S. & Alaska’s sole Tribal College. I sat down w/ students of Iḷisaġvik to hear firsthand the positive impact that receiving a higher education from an Indigenous institution is having on their lives.
The students shared how valuable it is for them to have the opportunity to be immersed in and supported by their Inupiaq culture. As a long-time supporter of Tribal Colleges and also preserving Alaska Native culture, this type of feedback is truly encouraging.
