OLC's AISES Chapter Wins Outreach and Community Service Award!

Co-Advisor Misty Brave, and Helene Gaddie, Richard White, and Donald Belile attended the annual national AISES conference during the last weekend of October in Portland, Oregon. We are happy to report that OLC's AISES chapter received its second consecutive award for Outreach and Community Service. This is especially prestigious considering that competition is amongst every university and college nationwide that has an AISES chapter. OLC's AISES student representatives also competed in the Science Research Poster competition.

Oglala Lakota College's AISES chapter seeks to enrich students' experiences at OLC by providing additional opportunities that include mentorship, internship, community service and outreach projects that reflect Lakota culture and values.

Our annual calendar includes:

  • Monthly meetings
  • Scholarship, fellowship, and Outreach Activity announcements
  • K-12 Outreach
  • Annual Shaun Herrod Basketball Tournament
  • AISES Region 5 Leadership Conference
