In order to best serve the American Indian population, the Maricopa Community College District has instituted two programs: an American Indian Outreach Office – an initiative that is aimed at building and maintaining community and tribal partnerships; and the American Indian Institute which maintains a physical presence at both Scottsdale and Mesa Community Colleges and provides American Indian students with programs and services. Housed in the District’s Administrative Offices, the Outreach Office was created to increase the number of American Indian students enrolling in college and support their studies toward completion. This office builds community and tribal partnerships that support not only the students but also their families. Providing programs and services designed to introduce middle and high school American Indian students to the college experience as well as retaining currently enrolled students is this Office’s goal. The American Indian Institute maintains a physical presence at both Scottsdale and Mesa Community Colleges. The mission of the Institute is to provide comprehensive, culturally responsive academic and personal support that promotes opportunities for successful and enhanced college experiences for American Indian students. The Institute utilizes the family community model to provide a sense of familial support for American Indian students that engage students and empowers them as leaders.
