About This Event
In 2018, Dr. Laurie Arnold co-directed an NEH summer institute for two- and four-year college and university faculty. 'The Native American West: A Case Study of the Columbia Plateau' was a collaboration with a colleague at Whitman College in Walla Walla. The interdisciplinary institute focused on development of new course materials which integrated interpretation about the Indigenous Columbia Plateau. Now in its sixth year, the Native American Studies program aims to build a consciousness about the Indigenous Plateau. This Dean’s Forum will discuss how regional partnerships, collaborations, and public-facing engagement have fostered program growth and provided access to national platforms and institutions.
