“The Maricopa Community Colleges are proud to be the

higher education provider of choice for so many American

Indian students from throughout the state and beyond.

We take our responsibility for meeting the education and

workforce development needs of Tribes and Tribal members

very seriously, and are constantly looking to see how we

can improve outreach and service to our American Indian

students and community members.

We are also proud to note that many current and recent

leaders of local Tribes and American Indian-serving

organizations are alumni of the Maricopa Community

Colleges. We think this is a key indication of the role

we play in assuring the future prosperity, success and

leadership of not only our American Indian students and

Tribes, but of the state as a whole.

Thank you for your interest in the Maricopa Community

Colleges. We look forward to serving you!”

~Dr. Rufus Glasper, Chancellor

Partnerships and Programs

Chancellor’s Native American Community Advisory CouncilAs part of the Chancellor’s commitment to inclusiveness, engagement, and respect, Dr. Glasper meets regularly with the Native American Community Advisory Council (CAC). Members of these councils are appointed by the Chancellor and provide insight and perspective into the needs and interests of Native American students, employees, tribes,and community members.

The objectives of the Native American CAC include:•ProvidecounselandcandidinputtotheChancellorand

college administrators on issues affecting the successful recruitment and retention of American Indian students, faculty, and staff

•Identifyissuesofconcernanddiscussthemwithcouncilmembers and the Chancellor

•Communicateregularlywithothersinthecommunityandthe colleges

•Assumeotherresponsibilitiesandtakeaction,asappropriate and on a voluntary basis, in order to accomplish goals established by members of the CAC

Through these partnerships in service to the institution, the Maricopa Community Colleges are better positioned to meet

the educational and workforce needs of the community. The Native American CAC was established in 2003 and is comprised of community members who represent university Native American programs, tribal communities, Native American organizations and agencies, and state educational representatives as well as local Indian Education Departments from surrounding high schools.

Statewide Summit Meetings between Tribes and Community CollegesOne of the recent initiatives from the Chancellor’s Native American Community Advisory Council resulted in the Maricopa Community Colleges and Inter Tribal Council of Arizona partnering to organize and host the first statewide “Summit of Arizona Community Colleges & Indian Nations and Tribes” on June 24, 2009. This summit was highly recognized for bringing together tribal leaders, college and university representatives, and primary and secondary education representatives, in order to conduct focused discussions on issues affecting Native American students in colleges and universities.

Due to the success of this summit, a follow-up summit was held in Tucson, Arizona in October, 2009, and future summit meetings will be held on a continuing basis throughout the state. The focus for these summits will be to build on the discussion and recommendations that were developed during the 2009 meetings, and for the key college and university partners to give updates and reports on efforts to implement and enact the Tribal Summit recommendations.

Valued PartnershipsPartners play an important and vital role in the education

of American Indian students. The Maricopa Community

Colleges recognize this and are honored to collaborate

with a variety of organizations, educational institutions,

and community stakeholders.

For years, the Maricopa Community Colleges have been

members of the Arizona Indian Education Association

(AIEA). AIEA is a 501 (c) 3 non –profit organization

comprised of educators and community members

dedicated to improving the education of American Indian

students K – college level. Through active participation

in AIEA, the Maricopa Community Colleges continue to

gain insight on ways to improve outreach and services to

American Indian students. We use the opportunity to offer

information on our colleges, programs, services, and other

updates pertaining to American Indian students. Lastly, it

allows the Maricopa Community Colleges to offer support

and collaborate with AIEA and its members all for the

benefit of our American Indian students.

AIEA Annual American Indian Parent ConferenceFor the past three years, representatives from the Maricopa

Community Colleges were privileged to participate

as members of the Annual American Indian Parent

Conference Planning Committee. For the past two years,

Glendale Community College in Glendale, Arizona, had

the honor of being the host location for the 2009 and

2010 Annual American Indian Parent Conference. For

both years this great event has brought together over 200

parents, grandparents, and school officials representing the

22 tribes of Arizona.

“A high priority for me is to provide the same opportunities I was given as a student - to enhance my tribal community’s quality of life. I continue to see the Maricopa County Community College District join forces with American Indian community partners in an effort to provide a high quality of education for their students. AIEA and the Yaqui Education Services here in Guadalupe, Arizona, partner with the Maricopa Community Colleges. I value these collaborations as it all goes towards the educational goals of our American Indian students.”

~ Frank Montiel, AIEA President and Chandler-Gilbert Community College Alumnus

The Maricopa Hoop of Learning Program is a high school to college bridge program administered by the Maricopa County Community College District (MCCCD). Born from a need to support Native American high school students to stay in school and pursue a college degree, the Maricopa Hoop of Learning Program has celebrated 15 years of success and continues to grow. Specifically tailored to meet the academic and cultural needs of Native American students, the basic tenets of the program replicate the indigenous Circle of Life philosophy long practiced by all Native American peoples of the North and South Americas.

Maricopa Hoop of Learning Program Goals1. Increase high school retention and high school graduation

rates2. Increase Native American participation and matriculation

rates into college3. Create the conditions for retaining Native American

students to reach their higher education goals4. Enhance Native American culturally relevant curriculum5. Increase diversity on campuses6. Strengthen external collaboration by establishing

and continuing partnerships with Native American communities, school districts, and other agencies

What began as a partnership with the Phoenix Union High School District has now grown valley wide. With nine Maricopa Hoop of Learning Programs existing, valued collaborative partnerships with area high school districts and tribal education departments and their communities have contributed to over a yearly average of 500 Native American high school students being served and this number continues to grow!

Students who participate in this great opportunity benefit from a scholarship that covers the following:•Tuition•RelatedCourseFees•Books•Transportation•Meals

Because there is a valued focus on meeting the cultural needs of the high school student, participants benefit from an array of culturally related opportunities including:•CulturalCourses•CulturalWorkshops•FieldTrips•VolunteerService

“I have developed an ideal balance of organizing and study habits as preparation for success. Critical and creative thinking skills presented in my college-level courses have become an essential element for my future studies. The supportive environment of the program provides a smoother transition from a high school student to becoming a self-sufficient Native American college student.”

Maricopa ACE Program

Native American Initiative

Program InformationThe Achieving a College Education Program (ACE) is a nationally recognized program that targets students who may not consider going to college and attaining a baccalaureate degree to be an achievable goal. Upon graduation from high school, an ACE student may have earned up to 24 transferable college credits.

Native American Initiative The Maricopa ACE Native American Initiative was launched in 2007 with the primary purpose of increasing the number of Native American students participating in all Maricopa ACE Programs. Funding was received to support Native American students with scholarship capital for the cost of tuition.

Communicating, outreaching, and involvement in the following target areas were vital to reaching our goal:

•HighschoolswithNativeAmericanstudents•Fourtribalcommunitiesthatborderand/orreside

Native American Initiative Strategic PlanWhen the ACE Native American Initiative was launched, a six-phase strategic plan was developed to focus on increasing recruitment of Native American students.

Enrollment DataPrior to the launch of the ACE Native American Initiative, the enrollment of Native American students in the ACE Programs remained consistent. Even as the ACE Programs grew in size across all ten Maricopa Community Colleges in 2004, the growth of Native American students in the Programs remained the same. With the launch of the ACE Native American Initiative, there has been an increase in the enrollment of Native Americans into the ACE Programs. After the first year of the Initiative, there was an increase of 30% in 2008. In 2009, the ACE Programs saw a 69% increase of Native American students.
