Tribal Colleges and Universities (TCUs) have been in existence for over 50 years, serving not only Native American and Alaskan Native students but anyone from the rural communities where they reside. The 35 TCUs in the U.S. train future teachers, nurses, engineers, and more.

A poem detailing a young person's silent battle with depression. - Muskaan Admani When someone asks how I am I want to say I really do feel Unloved And Worthless And like A burden This d e p r e s s i o n Is a ravenous parasite Sucking out all the light I have left I have lost my sight. I want to say That my thoughts Are incessantly pushing weight against my shoulders And that is why I shake sometimes I am relentlessly fighting a boxing match That you cannot see But my energy Is now fleeting.

The instructor’s PPT slides are brilliant. You’ve splurged on the expensive interactive courseware. Student engagement is stellar. So… why are half of your students still forgetting everything they learned in just a matter of weeks? It's likely a matter of cognitive science! With so much material to "teach" these days, we often forget to incorporate key proven principles into our curricula — namely active recall, metacognition, spaced repetition, and interleaving practice.

About 30% of African American STEM professionals begin their higher education at a Historically Black College or University, according to the United Negro College Fund, but only around 1% of the Defense Department’s research funding is directed towards HBCUs and other minority serving institutions.
