As we honor National Native American Heritage Month in November, join us for a special two-hour panel presentation with representatives from Eastern New Mexico University-Ruidoso and the Mescalero Apache School. 

Learn how dual credit programs, local access to higher education, and workforce partnerships help students stay connected to their community while preparing for high-demand careers. The model integrates culture, language, and hands-on learning from early childhood through college and career training.  Hear how this collaborative approach is strengthening both student outcomes and the Mescalero Apache Tribe’s future.
