New TCU presidents are welcomed by the consortium

 
POSTED ON Nov 18, 2024
 

The American Indian Higher Education Consortium (AIHEC) welcomed new leadership at eight Tribal Colleges and universities (TCUs) during its annual fall board meeting in Palm Springs, California.

The newly appointed TCU leaders include:

Steven Smith, president of Cankdeska Cikana Community College
Neva Tall Bear, interim president of Little Big Horn College
Lexie Tom, interim president of Northwest Indian College
Linda Sue Warner, president of San Carlos Apache College
Erica Holmes, president of Sisseton Wahpeton College
Stephen Schoonmaker, president of Tohono O’odham Community College
Michael Munson, interim president of Salish Kootenai College, and
Colette Keith, acting president of Sinte Gleska University

Ahniwake Rose, AIHEC president and CEO, remarked, “Being a TCU President is not only a great honor but also a vital and important role, often in rural communities with limited resources. Those who take on the challenges associated with these positions deserve our respect and support. I look forward to working with this new group, and AIHEC will do everything we can to ensure we provide support and advocacy for them and their respective institutions.”

The AIHEC board will reconvene in February 2025 during the annual AIHEC Legislative Summit in Washington, D.C.
