 Well the Leech Lake Tribal College is gearing up for another school year and recently they received a new resource to help them do that. Our own Cheryl Moore tells us about the new things happening at the college. Leech Lake Tribal College is as its name says a tribal college but that does not mean it's strictly for tribal members. It's open to anyone. The Leech Lake Tribal College hosted their last open house of the summer and students can expect to see everything they love back for another year from the campus itself. I really liked the way it looked and like the design and the architecture. I was really drawn to that. I had a tour of it a few years ago and fell in love with the art room. It's so beautiful back there. To the small family feel. Just coming to school here it really didn't feel like coming to school. It felt more like coming to like a family where we'd really tighten this tighten it close learning environment. The college is one of the most affordable in the nation. It was even recently voted on Wallet Hub.com as the number one best community college in the U.S. Along with earning an associate's degree students get to participate in a wide variety of activities. There's also free tutoring and there's many jobs offered on campus as well and the basketball teams are also a good opportunity. They're really flexible with a lot of things and that helps a lot especially if you're a parent or you're traveling from out of the area. This year students will also find this particular new addition to the school library. This is the first republication of the Edward S. Curtis' series of North American Indians. There were 75 custom republications done and we received edition number 62 on donation from an anonymous corporation. The whole collection is worth around $44,000. As the college looks towards fall semester they're ready to shape our leaders and prepare them for their next steps in life but also they're reaching out and hope to be an all-around hub for the whole community. What we're trying to do now is we're trying to reach out to the community and see what can we offer. Are there areas and skill sets that you want us to offer that we can help out with? Reporting in Cass Lake, Sheryl Moore, Lakeland News. Registration is open at the college until August 17th. School will then start the following Monday on the 20th.
